Been done before, and better. However, I'll withhold final judgment until I see the final product. One concern I did have was the fact that it didn't look as though you could make a wrong choice from the demo. It was locked in on only the choice that would allow you to move forward. Add some red herrings in there to improve game play.
Well, us ridiculous Americans just don't that much about football I guess. I know that I should appreciate it more, but I can't sit and watch a (soccer/football) match for the life of me.
Really like this game: Keep coming back to it.
Re: other's comments;
I don't know if there was a counter originally, but there is one now in the upper right hand corner, and I like it.
I think a function to lock pieces in place would be a nice feature.
Edit: I really enjoyed this game. It fits your brain the same way minesweeper does when you get into a rhythm. You don't know why you're making the moves, you just know their right. (Yes you could take a step back and analyze, but it's more fun to just let your subconcious take over.)
Finished on my second day. I don't think that's supposed to be that easy. That said, I kept playing, and I noticed a glitch. It doesn't give you any money for killing the balloons, even though is says it's worth $200.
