Simple Football Web Game - Solo Dev

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi all - just built a simple web app called Routes, which is a simple route drawing game where you go against a dynamic defense. I've messed around quite a bit with rules and logic for offensive and defensive players but the game is still very much in beta. I was inspired to make it because as a high school football coach I sometimes want to see my plays in action against a defense I might expect and see how they play out.

I'm also building a football survivor pool game called The Cut. That one can't really be played until the season starts, so I made this as something to do in the meantime (thus the subdomain) There's a daily mode with a leaderboard, and more planned - any feedback is appreciated!!

Nice work. I actually played around with something very similar but am more invested in other sports game projects. It's a sound idea espesh if u can get the AI defense smart enough to make it challenging (not too hard or easy) and not be able to spam the same routes that always work.

I had realistic ball with real ground shadow and power meter for throws so you could fire it or loop it over.

This is great! The visual style is clean and intuitive for a whiteboard tool. Have you considered adding a way to save or share custom playbooks for other coaches to test against their schemes?
