We're thrilled to announce that Super Arcade Football is out of early access! It's been a long journey, and we'd like to thank all SAF fans - both old and new - for their continued support and feedback. In this update we've fixed a few bugs and polished the game's features.
Here's the brand-new trailer for SAF:

And here are the features available in SAF:
Story Mode Follow Martin as he does everything he can to save his favourite club, Balarm F.C., from bankruptcy. You might encounter a few interesting characters along the way.
Modifiers Do you want the goals to be bigger, or the pitch to be covered in mud, or meteors to fall from the sky?! (Almost) anything is possible with the vast range of modifiers included in Super Arcade Football.
2-Player Online Multiplayer Play against a friend, or random opponent, over the internet.
4-Player Local Multiplayer Play with up to 3 friends on your sofa at home.
Full Gamepad Support Super Arcade Football supports an array of controllers - the game is best experienced on gamepad.
Custom Tournaments Play the league, knockout, or mixed format tournament of your dreams.
Soundtrack By Barry Leitch Renowned composer Barry Leitch (Top Gear SNES, Horizon Chase Turbo, Lotus Turbo Challenge 2) has produced a unique soundtrack specifically for Super Arcade Football!
Tactic Management And Substitutions Manage your tactics to be more offensive or defensive depending on how the game's going. You can also make substitutions if one of your players gets injured or isn't performing well.
Over the course of this week the developers will be queuing for multiplayer matches, so hop online and if you're lucky you can play against one of us! Once again we'd like to thank the players for helping us get SAF over the finish line, we hope you like the game as much as we do.
Thanks for playing!

SAF v. 0.900 - Story Mode and Original Soundtrack by Barry Leitch
Dear Super Arcade Friends,
I could not be more excited about this update to our favourite arcade football game. We're finally giving (early) access to the Story Mode! Along with that, we're thrilled to announce a collaboration with Barry Leitch, who has created an original soundtrack just for Super Arcade Football.
For the few people that are not familiar with Barry, he has composed many iconic tunes for games, since the 8 and 16-bit days. Among those, Lotus 2, Super Cars 2 and, more recently, the great Horizon Chase Turbo. Barry is not new to football games, having fathered the soundtrack of titles such as Emlyn Hughes international soccer (C64), Kickoff (NES), Microprose soccer (Amiga/ST/Amstrad/Spectrum), Soccer Tycoon (Facebook), Championship Manager (PC) and European Champions (Amiga).
To gel perfectly with the game pixel graphics, all those tunes have been created in the Amiga mod tracker format. I invite you to launch the game, go to the settings screen and listen to all the 12 amazing tracks that Barry has composed. Be warned, you won't be able to get them out of your head, they are that good!
The tunes from Barry are the perfect complement for the game's story mode. We can't wait to get your feedback on the story mode as well.
In this release you can also find a lot of improvements. Including being able to charge your next shot before receiving the ball, which makes even more amazing goals possible.
Thanks a lot to any of you that has provided feedback, including (but not limited to): pablo.g, Casana, stefanosiore, Inferno, pearce64, hexaae, Sabata, Falco K, Daniele C, Daniel T, Korben D, and ZyuzA.
Enjoy and see you at the next announcement!

SAF v. 0.720 - Injuries, Modifiers, and Women
Dear SAF Friends,
It's been a few weeks since the last update and we've not been resting on our laurels. We've got a ton of new features for you to enjoy.
I'm happy to announce that we've added support for injuries. So make sure you don't get tackled too much or your players might be taken out.
We've also added the following optional modifiers:
Nets (small / regular / large)
Injuries (on / off)
Game Speed (slow / regular / fast)
Sleepy Keeper (on / off)
Looser Ball (on / off)
Oil (on / off)
Mud (on / off)
Turbo Objects (on / off)
You can now come up with some crazy combinations! Many of those modifiers can now be found on the preset tournaments as well.
Last but not least, there is now a vast selection of women's teams available (I'm very happy with this inclusion, highly requested by my two daughters).
We've also made many changes to the gameplay, to make the game more challenging and fun.
As usual, thanks to all of you for your great feedback, it's really appreciated! Many thanks to Daniele C, SFlav, Korben Dallas and Steviebwoy, just to name a few.
Enjoy the game and see you at the next update!

Happy New Year everyone,

Custom and Preset Tournaments The game now includes support for leagues, knockouts and mixed tournaments. Have fun competing in one of the 18 preset tournaments or create your own. Select play from the main menu and then choose between quick match, preset or custom tournaments.
New Teams We've also added a lot of new national and club teams and improved gameplay and AI. There is still work to do (e.g. support for injuries) and parts of the UI are still a bit rough. Nevertheless, we're excited to share this version with you and we can't wait to get your feedback.
Thanks and see you soon.
