Fast-paced football action created for SBS's FIFA World Cup campaign.
Super Striker was developed by Mode Games for SBS as an engaging promotional experience leading into the FIFA World Cup. Designed as a high-quality Unity HTML5 web game, players competed to score as many goals as possible within 60 seconds by flicking soccer balls into the net from a variety of exciting shooting positions.
Built to run instantly across desktop and mobile browsers, the game combined responsive controls, dynamic gameplay and broadcast-quality presentation to create an experience that appealed to thousands of participants.
Gameplay
Players were challenged to score the highest number of goals before the timer expired.
Throughout each match the camera dynamically shifted between different positions around the stadium, introducing varied shot angles, distances and challenges to keep gameplay fresh and exciting. A fully rigged 3D goalkeeper reacted with a range of animations while particle effects, music and sound effects celebrated every successful shot.
The result was an easy-to-learn but highly replayable arcade experience that encouraged players to keep improving their scores.
