Hey there, we have some new features for you! In three weeks we were able to implement cool leaderboards and match challenges. Now playing tournament matches (alone or in co-op) will give you fame points. Completing match challenges will give you even more fame. The more fame you have, the higher you will be in the global ranking.
Leaderboards
We've integrated Steam Leaderboards with the game, but not as a single big table, but as 4 leagues. You start in the Bronze League and by winning tournament matches (alone or in co-op) you gain fame points. Advancing to a higher league requires to accumulate given amount of fame shown on the leaderboards screen, different for each league.
Note: friendly matches won't give you any fame points right now, but this may change in the future.
Match Challenges
These are optional objectives than can be fulfilled during a tournament match. There are many challenges with varying difficulty levels, e.g. score a hat-trick or knock-out two opponents with a single slide tackle. Some harder challenges will appear only on higher difficulty levels, so playing on Beginner will show you only the easiest challenges. More challenges may come in future, along with achievements.
Note: Challenges don't appear during friendly matches, but that may change in the future.
Trading cards
This is a matter of a few days for the trading cards to be available. We've all graphics prepared and will upload cards, badges and other related stuff ASAP.
Future plans
We have a long list of features to implement, small and big ones, some of them suggested by players, but there is one most important feature still missing: online multi-player. This is a big thing for us and we'll need at least a few months to complete it. During this time you may see less frequent updates of the game regarding other features.

4 Difficulty levels
Previously only easy AI was available, but now there are 3 more, giving a total of four of them: beginner, amateur, professional and legend (the last one must be unlocked by completing some cups). Hopefully playing with this new AI will be a challenge for you, although the game is still in early access, so we'll need your feedback regarding the new AI.
Linux and SteamOS support
This is very experimental, so please let us know if it's working or not for you. One known issue: Steam overlay does not work :(
Localization support added
We've added support for translations and translated the game to 5 additional languages: German, Japanese, Polish, Russian and Spanish. If you know any of these languages well, then we encourage you to verify these translations and report any feedback on game's Steam forum. Also note that you can translate Kopanito to your native language, it's very easy, just check how other languages are defined in the data/languages subdirectory in Kopanito's local files.
