I was in the process of making a Flash penalty shootout game when Ireland were dumped out of the 2002 World Cup by Spain. I quickly reskinned the characters and released the game as ‘Suwon Shootout’, giving Irish football fans a chance to rewrite history. The game caught the imagination of the public, and the game attracted some 7,000 uniques per day for a period of several weeks.
Looking back on the project nearly 10 years later (where do it go?) there’s some things I would definitely do differently, and I think the control mechanism is too clumsy and complicated. However, it was pretty ambitious at the time, and I’m proud of it!
