A downloadable game for Windows

A goofy, competitive two-player showdown perfect for killing time (and your buddy’s pride) while waiting for the pizza to arrive.

Invite a buddy to a quick duel in 'GameDay Mayhem!!' – a local multiplayer game designed for those halftime breaks during your couch hangouts. An homage to the days when american football was brutal and video games were simple. Think Nidhogg meets American Football.

  • If the message "The computer has been protected by Windows" appears when running the "TackleForLoss.Exe", this can be bypassed under "More information" with "Run anyway". 
  • Before running the game you should quit Steam if it is running in background. Otherwise you might encounter problems with controller input.

If anyone wants to challenge the developer in his own game, this is my Steam Friend Code: 241107062

(It would help tremendously to find out if the game works via Steam Remote Play)  

Playing games for the finish your game jam!

I wasn't able to get the full experience of the game as I'm checking these out by myself, but there is a lot of polish put into this game! All of the effects are punchy, feedback is great, and the game feels good!

Well done!

Thanks for your feedback and thanks for hosting this jam!

I also have the problem that I don't always have someone there to test the multiplayer. I'm currently setting up the game for Steam and am ready for any volunteers to duel out via Steam Remote Play. Who dares?
