Tackle for Loss

Tackle for Loss is a 2D top-down action game that puts you in the shoes of a former American football pro. Utilizing his unique set of football skills, you'll navigate a gritty underworld, battling enemies on a desperate mission to save a loved one. Violent combat, a gripping narrative, and dark pixel art combine to create a high-impact experience inspired by the likes of Hotline Miami.

Combat is built around a brutal twist on American football’s four-down rule: you get four tackles - total - to clear each level. No button mashing. Just four perfectly placed tackles between you and the end zone. Sounds impossible? It kind of is.
