PUSH

📜The sun beats down on the local pitch, but for one kid, nothing exists outside of that goal. He has no team, and he isn't using his feet: he grips an old broom in his hands, using it to push the ball past the line and straight into the net. But outside the field, just past the fence, the rest of the gang has no intention of giving him a break. Lurking along the sidelines, the other kids are ready to do whatever it takes to distract him, pelting him with a non-stop barrage of balls. Every shot on goal becomes a feat, every second a test of pure focus. Grip the broom, dodge the incoming balls, and hit the target!

💾The download includes the game ROM, PDF manual, and BEZEL for the Stella emulator. The demo  is available for download or to play in browser.

💻Press SELECT to start the game.  Use the broom to push the ball toward the goal. Don't hit it, but press fire when you're close enough to throw it. At the start of the game you have a supply of five balls but you gain a ball every time you score a goal, up to a maximum of ten. Time is running and every time the timer reaches zero you lose a ball. Some mischievous kids outside the field throw balls at you to distract you from the game. Don't get hit. If you touch the ball without pressing the fire button to throw it, or get hit by a ball thrown by the children, you have to start over.

🏆I make games exclusively for the Atari 2600 and would like to get into the Guinness Book of Records as the single person/company to have made the most games for a single console. More than Atari itself. That's why I've set myself the goal of making at least 180. I'd like to do that by the end of the year.

🎮The games I released last year (over 40) will be free to download forever, but to fund this endeavor, the ones released in 2026 will be available for the ridiculous price of $2 (not exactly everyone 😉). If you'd like to help, I'd be grateful.

👍🏻You'll also find new releases on   Mastodon,    Bluesky ,     X  and     Facebook    where you'd be welcome to leave a like.

🔨I can make custom games for free for anyone who requests them (as long as they're within my capabilities). Email me at the address below.
