Fun but hard to control

So excited for this game to be out but it can be really hard and frustrating to control your players if you could add the ability to use a video game controller then that would be awesome now I’m getting sick and tired of them not updating the game

Fix the penalty glitch!

Good game but fix the penalty glitch

Good

Seems like they fixed the game instead of clicking or just tap

Great game

Great game, only I wish the gams were a little longer, oh and that sunny would shut up.

Has potential but lacks for modern gaming

Usually when you make a port of a game its fine not to mess with what made the game; although enhancing it and adding new features to make a modern audience enjoy these type of nostalgic games from way back would be great. Don’t get me wrong its all there and great; but not making functional for a game controller or a digital joystick and buttons is holding it back for me.
