Xmas Special: Winter Wonderland - Level Added with 1 New Achievement!

Are you a fan of good old-fashioned soccer games with easy controls and amazing pixel graphics? Do you miss the nostalgia of playing those classic games? Look no further, because Xmas Special: Winter Wonderland is here to bring back those happy memories and more!

In this pixel-styled game, the objective is simple: score by moving the ball into the opposing goal while defending your own. But don't be fooled by its simplicity, this game can bring out a range of emotions from happiness to frustration. Choose from 8 different teams and play against the CPU in single player mode to beat your opponent and achieve victory!

But that's not all, Xmas Special: Winter Wonderland is not just your average soccer game. It offers 100% pixel style and simple gameplay, perfect for those looking to relax and let their mind wander. With no complicated plot to follow, this game is all about pure enjoyment. And for those who crave a bit more challenge, it also includes speed and accuracy in its gameplay.

The idea for Seasonal Soccer was inspired by the passion for football in the town of Myllykoski, located in the final frontier of Finland. Surrounded by thick forests and fertile oat fields, this village has a true love for the sport. In 1947, with the support of the legendary worldwide paper industry pioneer Myllykoski Paper, a football pitch with spectator stands was built, leading to the creation of the football club Myllykosken Pallo −47 (or MYPA, formerly MyPa). This club has achieved many miracles in football history and has also been known to play legendary Amiga soccer games.

With this spectacular passion for football as inspiration, Seasonal Soccer is here for you to play. And we hope to "ignite the candle" and inspire people all around the world to start a career in football. Choose from 8 different teams, including Russia, Belgium, France, England, Finland, Switzerland, Spain, or Honduras, and challenge the CPU in a match. And if you win (or lose), you can always choose a new opponent.

Currently in Early Access, Xmas Special: Winter Wonderland offers 2 levels to play and a chance to win against the CPU. But don't worry, the World Cup tournament will be added in the future. You can also choose to let the AI control your team players and only manage the team, but in tough situations, you may need to take control yourself. And for those who prefer full control, you can always play with 100% control of your players.

This pixel-style retro AAA-game (graphically) is designed to be played on a smaller screen, making it perfect for playing at work, school, or during a break. The screen resolution is an excellent 900x640 size, and you can even choose to play in Full Screen mode (experimental). However, be aware that in Full Screen mode, you may miss out on the incredible graphics frames that appear when you or the enemy scores a goal.

But that's not all, Xmas Special: Winter Wonderland has also made improvements in Full Screen mode, with a new Windows runtime using DirectX 11, improved performances with new engine optimizations, and faster loading times. Plus, there is now a hunt for achievements (currently 1) to add even more excitement to the game.

So how long will you play? That's up to you. With different moves leading to different matches, this game can provide hours of entertainment without getting boring. And don't forget, there is also music and the sound of applause and cheers from the audience to add to the immersive experience of playing against an opponent team.

Currently in Early Access, Xmas Special: Winter Wonderland offers 2 football fields/levels to play, but with every match being different, the possibilities are endless. Keep in mind, there is no referee on the field (yet), so the game may not be entirely realistic in every aspect. But rest assured, every football player has been tested and consulted to plan opponent team strategies and movements, strengths and weaknesses, in order to offer players the most genuine experience.

Available for PC and Mac, Xmas Special: Winter Wonderland is a small top-down soccer game in the genre of SNES soccer games. There is no online multiplayer or local play, just single player. But for a moment of your time, it's a moment of fun. As the Press Start To Begin Curator says, "for a moment of your time, it's a moment of fun."
