Competition reported on Feb 20, 2024
It does but this is a player vs player game and so it is fine.
Illusion of Control reported on May 2, 2023
When you won. There are offen Special effects.
Aesthetic Manipulations reported on Feb 8, 2022
It has lit music to hype you up as you play, but you can very easily turn it off from the menu. It also uses sound effects when you hit the ball just right to encourage you to use the more obscure mechanics like purple shots and gold shots.
Fear of Missing Out reported on Feb 8, 2022
There are limited time items in the shop, so if you don't play for a while you may miss cool cosmetic items.
Competition reported on Feb 8, 2022
The whole point is to play car soccer against other players
