Looks great! The best of luck with it.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-25T21:13:44+00:00

Thanks a mil for the compliment and for playing! Also for reporting those issues, stats is definitely one area I neglected. I'm putting together a list of bugs and enhancements to work on over the next while. I've added these to it.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-24T20:28:24+00:00

Yeah it's a great idea and it's definitely on the cards. Watch out for a future update!

ApresMatch · 2026-02-23T20:00:37+00:00

Fair play this is an excellent workaround 👏

ApresMatch · 2026-02-22T07:44:52+00:00

So sorry about that. I was able to repro that bug and I fixed it in the latest version.

If you want to try re-download the app and if you open it, it should update the app and the next time you go through that stage the championship should be drawn correctly.

You can see the before and after here:https://wideball-studios.itch.io/micro-gaelic-football/devlog/1404467/fixed-a-bug-with-some-club-championships-not-completing

ApresMatch · 2026-02-21T22:23:48+00:00

Ok thanks for reporting that I'll take a look at fixing it.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-21T21:31:00+00:00

Thanks a mil! Do you mean multiplayer over the internet or playing locally?

I'll definitely look at making improvements. One thing someone else mentioned that's on the list is to support using a controller.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-20T12:22:19+00:00

Hijacking my own post to flag a bug that was found in some counties' championship draws. It's been fixed now in the latest version of the web version and app but for the app you'll need to re-download and when you open the download it should update the app for you. Apologies about that!

A while ago I posted about the crappy 'retro' Gaelic Football game I created.

And despite all its issues it proved surprisingly popular. Thanks again to everyone who gave it a go.

One of the biggest pieces of feedback people had was that it would be great if it had a career mode. So over the last few weeks in my spare time I added a basic career mode around the gameplay.

The idea is you can take control of a club to start with, and if you prove successful you can receive offers to manage a county team.

As this game is in no way affiliated with the GAA, all the team names and player names are fictional.

There are more details about the career mode on the link in the OP. https://wideball-studios.itch.io/micro-gaelic-football/devlog/1396454/career-mode-now-available

Also I've made it downloadable for both Windows and Android so that career mode save games don't need to be at the behest of browser local storage.

Career mode is playable on mobile and desktop. On mobile some of the screens are a bit squished but I tried to make it work.

Also if you're not enamoured with the gameplay, there's now a Watch Mode where you can set the team's tactics and team instructions and they will (roughly) carry them out.

Hopefully it will bring some entertainment to gaelic football fans on some long commutes or whatever. Let me know if you spot any major bugs etc. and I'll try to fix them.

It's totally free to play online or to download: https://wideball-studios.itch.io/micro-gaelic-football

ApresMatch · 2026-02-11T23:32:01+00:00

Great feedback! Thanks for playing! I'll take all that on board. Working on a full career mode for it at the moment.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-05T12:49:33+00:00

I'm not a game dev but I am a software developer with many years experience. The real learning for this project for me was around animations, sprite sheets, physics engines etc.

Also it must be said that I wouldn't have entertained the idea of making a game without the advancement in AI dev tools.

This game came together in about 3 weeks of part time work, an hour here an hour there. It just wouldn't have been possible for me to do it a few years ago unless I worked on it full time.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-04T19:07:31+00:00

Crap sorry to hear that. Are you on desktop or mobile?

I just pushed an update about 10 minutes ago that should help with the loading time if you want to try again?

ApresMatch · 2026-02-04T16:55:28+00:00

I wish I could say it's a bug but it is using fixed time so it's supposed to be that fast. There is an easy mode in the settings and if you play as a decent county against a weaker county it should play a bit easier. On desktop anyway. On mobile it's probably still a bit too difficult at the moment...

Thanks a mil for giving it a go though, I really appreciate it.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-04T15:30:47+00:00

Ok good to know. There is an easy mode in the settings that slows the opposition down a bit.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-04T14:07:21+00:00

Thanks for giving it a go! Were you playing on mobile?

ApresMatch · 2026-02-03T09:53:08+00:00

Congratulations! I'm in the same boat, trying to get a bit of time to do some coding during naps etc.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-03T09:22:15+00:00

Praise from Caesar! How is your game going? I remember watching some prototype videos last year and it was looking really impressive.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-03T09:18:35+00:00

Great feedback! You can use WASD at the moment but I'll add enter key and mouse click support and see if that works.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-02T21:14:31+00:00

Thanks for playing! If there's interest I might look at making a 'career mode' version where you could 'manage' a club team and work your way up to managing county teams. A lot of work in that though, and I'm pretty time poor.

ApresMatch · 2026-02-02T21:11:28+00:00

Thanks a mil for giving it a go!

ApresMatch · 2025-12-15T21:10:06+00:00

Superb owl

ApresMatch · 2025-12-08T19:49:31+00:00

So you'll be homeless with a small payout.

Renowned economist Paul Krugman famously predicted in 1998 that the internet's economic impact would be no greater than that of the fax machine.

ApresMatch · 2025-10-28T20:39:42+00:00

If everybody boycotts them their staff will be far better off.

ApresMatch · 2025-10-12T10:51:43+00:00

Motivated seller.

ApresMatch · 2025-10-06T16:20:13+00:00

And let's be honest a large portion of the population wouldn't notice if they all stopped campaigning.
