A chaotic, ASCII-art spectacle where destruction reigns supreme, *GOOOOOOAL!* turns platforming into a meme-worthy, absurdist sport—though the rapid, unpredictable jumps may leave some players frustrated.

What it's about: Have you ever tried playing cards with a bear? But bears don't know how to play cards... That in this incredible game you will feel yourself in the role of a bear who is trying to play cards, but he does not succeed. All he can do is smash everything around and scream GOOOOOL!
