Player movement

Player Movement 

In Back Line the player can move forward, left, right, diagonally left and diagonally right the player cant move backwards because the difficulty is based on how much time you have to make a choice in game. the idea is for the the player to move forward attracting defenders and then as the defenders move forward they are attracted to that player you then pass the ball and keep moving forward with the different player going through a hole in the defence line or being tackled (touched by a defender).

when the player moves the character with the ball the rest of the players team mirrors those movements for example if you move forward all the characters on your team also make that move. This is so the attacking line stays in formation and is in the correct position to receive a pass.  The formation is pre set at the start of each attempt and start moving from that position each time, the defence line is also reset and moves in the direction of the attacking backline, this they do at different levels of speed depending on the level of difficulty.

The movement in the BackLine could also have been in a more free flow manner where you aim where you want to go and move that direction and have the rest of the attacking back line on rails moving forward independently of the player movements but I think it would be too hard to execute the required moves if you had that kind of freedom. While this would ass to the difficulty of the game  I think you would lose sight of the objective of doing moves and end up running around with one player, playing tag with the defenders.

unfortunately I was sick on the day of testing so I didn't get any feed back hopefully I can get some in the future.
