Ankle Breaker
Slide. Cheat. Survive the referee.
Submission to ScoreJam #37.
Overview
Ankle Breaker is a fast-paced arcade game where winning isn't about scoring goals — it's about getting away with fouls. Slide-tackle opponents, build streaks, and rack up points… but don't get caught by the referee, whose vision and awareness increase over time. Every foul is a risk. Every power-up changes the rules. How long can you keep cheating before justice gets you?
Gameplay
Slide into opponents to score points. Chain successful fouls to increase your multiplier. Avoid the referee's cone of vision. Survive as long as possible. Choose power-ups that buff you or mess with NPCs and the referee. The referee gets stronger over time — you need to get smarter.
Power-Ups
Every 100 points, the game pauses and lets you choose a power-up: Big Boys Club (make NPCs bigger), Heavy Legs (reduce NPCs speed), Sugar Rush (increase player speed), Tunnel Vision (decrease referee cone angle), Short-Sighted Ref (decrease referee cone length), Slippery Business (decrease player tackle cooldown). Choose wisely — the difficulty keeps ramping up.
Features
Fast arcade gameplay. Score-based progression. Power-up choices mid-run. Increasing difficulty over time. Global leaderboard — compete for the highest score and prove you're the best professional fouler out there.
