I played this game with my boyfriend, and it was a fun way to have some casual gaming sessions with controllers. As foosball fans in real life, we found the game to be a decent adaptation.

📝Story/Plot without spoilers:

[table][tr][td] 🔸 Spinshot Party doesn’t have a traditional storyline, but it captures the excitement of a real-life foosball game. The main appeal is its gameplay and the social interaction it brings. Whether you are playing solo or with friends, the game provides a lively and competitive atmosphere.

🎮Gameplay:

[table][tr][td]
🔸 Spinshot Party offers intuitive controls that challenge your hand-eye coordination. The game is easy to pick up but hard to master, making it accessible for players of all skill levels. You can play solo or with up to three friends, either locally or using Steam Remote Play. The real fun comes from playing with friends on-site, where the shouting and friendly shoving make the experience more immersive.

------🔹 The game replicates the fast-paced nature of foosball well. You control the rods to move your players, spin them to kick the ball, and try to score goals against your opponent. The controls are responsive, and the game captures the frantic action of a real foosball match. There are various table types, defender rows, mannequin setup and game modes.

------🔹 The best experience is with multiple players, where you can really get into the competitive spirit. Playing with controllers is mandatory, giving a tactile feel that’s similar to playing on a real foosball table. The game is perfect for parties and casual gaming sessions.

Rating: 8/10
Enjoying foosball both virtually and in real life.

Okay, it's a nice first game on Steam by the developer, but sadly I cannot recommend this as it is on launch day.

The mechanics are well done and it feels like a solid Foosball game.

The problems for me here are:

A) The game doesn't offer legitimate ONLINE play against friends. In a game like this, Steams 'Remote Play Together" just doesn't cut it. The lag will affect the connecting play big-time and make a really unfair game most of the time. Dev.. also by making a true online competitive mode, you'd sell more copies of this game because every player would need by own their own copy of this game, JS

B) Why in the hell is there no AI so that someone can play against the AI? Not only do I suggest making an AI for this game, I recommend having at least 3 or 4 different levels of AI so that solo players can customize the AI to fit their skill level.

The $8 USD asking price would be fair in my opinion... IF both A and B above were added to this game. As it is now, as much as I want to like it, I just can't recommend this.

Note to the Developer: Make the changes above, and I'll be more than happy to re-review the game and likely change this review to a positive review!


NOT RECOMMENDED. *sad face*. I really want to recommend this but no.

Super fun couch game with precise controls. Spent a lot of time play testing it and the games were always fun.
Very convenient to create a small tournament during your parties at your place ! You always want to play an other game to challenge your friends.
I recommend it.
