History\r
\r
“We want Pixel Cup Soccer to be the best retro arcade style soccer game! We wanted to develop a dynamic arcade game with a fast paced gameplay and simple controls, a game to be easy to just pick up and enjoy. There are not many games like this on the market!” - Fernando Sansberro, Director at Batovi Games Studio.\r
\r
The inspiration for the game was to be a modern version of the soccer games from the 90s! We feel the need to play an old school soccer game with great pixel art, a simple and challenging gameplay and with an awesome audio. We found that there was no game in the market that completely fullfilled our needs as players, so we decided to develop our own retro soccer game, inspired by the games we played, such as International Superstar Soccer and Nintendo World Cup!\r
\r
With a development time of 6 months of very hard work, Pixel Cup Soccer has evolved in all aspects.\r
\r
The first incarnation of Pixel Cup Soccer was called Garra Fútbol. “Garra” is the Spanish for claw, meaning vigorous resolution, in our local speak, and “Fútbol” is the Spanish for, well. Football (Soccer). This version of the game was launched just before the South Africa new World Cup for the One Laptop Per Child program computers in Uruguay, reaching a mindblowing 500.000 installations, in a country of 3.4 million people. The second incarnation of Pixel Cup Soccer was developed for iOS, Android, and PC, and launched just before the Brazil new World Cup. This version was warmly welcomed by an enthusiastic community. However, many of them wanted more, much more out if it. So weve been working hard based on tons of user feedback to provide the ultimate arcade retro style soccer experience! Pixel Cup Soccer 16 is a great evolution from its previous version. \r
