5/5

I see a lot of potential with this game, a few more features and gameplay mechanics and I think this could be our verison of Retro Bowl!
PAperson who downloads apps

Response from developer

Thank you so much!! Being compared to Retro Bowl means a lot! More is on the way: the next update will let you edit your team's name, kits and crest. It will also include stadium upgrades as you win, from a small ground to a big stadium. We’re just getting started 🙌

Peak game

This game is really good and fun to play and also very cool that theres tournaments. I really like the game over all

Response from developer

Thank you, this made my day! So glad you're enjoying the game and the tournaments. A tip if you haven't tried it yet: open your team's squad and tap a player to give them a name, and the commentator will call out their tries. Thanks for playing 🙌

Boring and 0 depth to the game

Gets old after 30 seconds. Is not rugby and is not fun
MEMatt Ewert

Response from developer

Thanks for trying it, Matt. It's an arcade love letter to rugby rather than a sim. If you ever try it again, Career and the tournaments are where it gets deeper, with a world ranking your results move.

Good

Good game very addictive but it would be nice if you could play quick matches with club teams too and not just international sides
IIdkwhattoputsorrylol

Response from developer

Thanks so much, glad it's got you hooked! Club teams in Quick Match are on our roadmap. In the meantime, Career mode has its own league of 20 clubs to play with.

Utterly mundane

Very mundane, appreciate the effort but this feels like a 14yr old’s school project

Response from developer

Thanks for giving Pixel Rugby a go, and for the honest feedback. The simplicity is deliberate: the aim is quick, casual rugby you can play with one hand, and that same simple core is what lets it run on Apple TV with just the remote, and soon on Apple Watch. If you only played the Endless Runner, there's more depth behind it: Quick Match against 100 nations, two full free tournaments and a club career. I'd love to hear what would make it more fun for you at support@pixelrugby.com.
