Goofballs

⠀

chaotic student-made lovechild to play with friends. Great for a quick laugh, but fit only for about 15 minutes

Игра Goofballs — это безумный и веселый физический паззл! Управляйте шаткими шариками, стройте нелепые конструкции из подручных средств, чтобы провести их до финиша. Непредсказуемая физика и абсурдный юмор гарантируют взрывы смеха. Идеально для коротких игровых сессий и поднятия настроения.

While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course).

This is a very mediocre arcadey 3D top down(ish) football game where you bash a ball around to get it into the goal, only with a deliberately bad physics model. And no players, because …

Goofballs Positives: + Ok for about 5 minutes + Ok graphics + Its free Negatives: - Quirky controls (with keyboard) - No mouse support in the menu - Ridiculous achievements - No fun after a few minutes - Can get frustrating - Gets very repetitive and monotonus - Not enough variation - Annoying sounds and music - Bad AI - Extremely limited multiplayer My expectations to this game was not high to begin with, but it was actually worse than I thought. There is nothing here to keep this interesting for more than a few minutes. Absolutely not my cup of tea. Total Score: 2.5/10
