  • Options: here the player may change the default settings for the game

Single Match

In the Single Match screen, any players who wish to participate will be able to activate their controller by pressing the A Button. They may then use the thumb pad to select which team they wish to play on. They may also select which team they want to represent them on the field, or create an entirely new team.

Team Creation (Not Yet Implemented)


The Team Creation Menu

In the team creation menu, players may select their Jersey colors and customize their team name. Press LB to modify your Team name, and RB to modify your Team Name. Use the thumb pad to make your selections in either window.

Playing Usagi no Sakka

Default Controls

Actions

  • Movement: Use the left thumbstick to move and face your bunny in the direction you want to go.
  • Dribbling the Ball: Don't be silly! Bunnies are too small to actually dribble a soccer ball. You can, however, move the ball around by simply pushing against it.
  • Kick: Gives the ball a swift kick. Remember: pressing and holding the button increases the power of your kick.
  • Jump: Sometimes, it will be necessary for your bunny to jump up into the air to make contact with the ball! Note: If you press the Kick button while you are in the air, your bunny will perform a headbutt instead!

Shenanigans

Speed Carrot If the player needs to get somewhere in a hurry, the Speed Carrot will give him or her the boost they need.
Power Carrot The Power Carrot gives the player the ability gives the ball a much stronger kick than normal.
Bear Trap Being quite the stinker, the player places a bear trap on the field. If another player steps on it... Ouch! (Not Yet Implemented)
Bomb Lookout! The player throws a bomb onto the field! Any players that are too close when it goes off will be knocked flat on their behinds. (Not Yet Implemented)
Portable Hole The player throws a portal hole onto the field! Any bunny that falls in must take a few moments to crawl back out. If the ball falls into the hole, however, then that player's team is docked a point! Oh no! (Not Yet Implemented)
Bunny Glue When the player throws bunny glue onto the field, opponents (or teammates!) that step into the muck will become stuff for several seconds. (Not Yet Implemented)

Game Screen

The Game Screen has a lot of useful information in it, such as the following:

  • Score: Tracks the current score of the two teams
  • Game Clock: Tells the player how much time is left in the current period. Note: If it's the last period, and the timer expires while the score is tied, the game will enter Sudden Death mode, where the next team to score a goal wins the match!
  • Shenanigan Selector: Each player will have a shenanigan selector tool at the bottom of the screen. Shenanigans that are recharging or unavailable will appear in gray.
  • Player Indicator Icons: If a bunny is currently being controlled by a given player, an icon will indicate which player that is.
