Tackle for Loss

Description

Tackle for Loss is a 2D top-down action game that puts you in the shoes of a former American football pro. Utilizing his unique set of football skills , you'll navigate a gritty underworld, battling enemies on a desperate mission to save a loved one. Violent combat, a gripping narrative, and dark pixel art combine to create a high-impact experience inspired by the likes of Hotline Miami . Combat is built around a brutal twist on American football’s four-down rule : you get four tackles - total - to clear each level. No button mashing. Just four perfectly placed tackles between you and the end zone. Sounds impossible? It kind of is.

Tackle for Loss is a game solo-developed by Indifferent Penguin / Daniel Wichterich . That means I am the only person working full-time on this game. During development, I’ve been fortunate to meet people who have contributed in meaningful ways, whether through their creative work, valuable feedback, or support.

While I experimented with it during the prototyping phase, all the content you’ll see and hear in the game was created by real people. However, the dialogues of Tackle for Loss have been translated with DeepL for languages other than English and German in order to make the game accessible to more people. I believe this is AI, right?
