Media doesn't get much loster than 2010's "Space Foot." It was one of the first ever video games I made, but sadly the game has become lost to history. Very little artwork and the original soundtrack are all that have survived. It stands as another stark reason why the preservation of data is so important to me. I'd pay any amount of money I had to have this game back, even though it was objectively the worst game of all time. Still, I miss it. The soundtrack is pretty horrendo, but I want to have as much as my music as possible on my channel so people can listen and as a backup in case of files being corrupted or lost.

As for the game itself, it was made in early 2010 with Game Maker 7. I had made a few games prior, but this was the first "big one." It was a longer, more complete game. It's a "soccer" game set in space. You play as a character named Player #8 as he tries to kick as many soccer balls into the goal as possible without hitting the CPU players. Here's an image taken from Space Foot II to give you an idea of what the game looked like.

It's really a timing-based game. You can only move left or right, but you have an infinite number of balls to kick. Kick enough balls into the goal and you progress to the next level. Each level came with its own unique obstacles, like wind, asteroids, rain, and more. Every now and then you encounter a boss battle where there rules are flipped and you must kick soccer balls into them to damage them. Not very soccer-like.

Here's one such boss, Bill Cottard. Most of the bosses were giant disembodied heads.

And who could forget Space Captain Volcano Head

And the BIG BAD himself, Captain General Fathead, the final boss. Sadly, I don't have images of his other forms. Also, there were two other bosses I have no images for, nor much recollection of what they looked like.

Lastly, here is the original logo in all its glory, along with its remastered counterpart.

That's basically all I can recall of the game. I hate that it's lost, but at least some of it has survived. Anyways, thank you for listening. I hope you enjoyed the perhaps less-than-stellar soundtrack and my ramble down memory lane. Have a wonderful today and a lovely tomorrow~
