*Description:*
Kickle is a daily football puzzle game where you solve a 3×3 grid by entering players that satisfy both the row and column categories. Categories can include clubs, countries, leagues, positions, and more, so each square requires a player who matches both conditions. The goal is to complete the grid using your football knowledge while discovering new connections between players. I wanted to build something that football fans could come back to every day for a quick challenge, similar to daily puzzle games but focused entirely on football. The project is still in active development, and I'm continuously improving the player database, validation logic, category variety, and overall user experience. I'd really appreciate feedback on the gameplay, difficulty, UI, performance, and any bugs you encounter. Suggestions for new categories or features are also very welcome.
*Involvement:*
I'm the solo developer. I designed the gameplay, built the frontend and backend, created the validation logic, curated the football data, and deployed the game. I'm actively iterating on it based on player feedback and plan to keep adding new categories, improving accuracy, and introducing more game modes over time.
