About this project
Follow the coach. Feel the rhythm. Master the tricks. KickBeat is a rhythm-based football training game where your coach demonstrates freestyle tricks through hand gestures and you replicate them at exactly the right moment — on the beat. Watch carefully, time your inputs, and chain perfect moves into combos; miss too many beats and the training session ends.
Timing is graded across three tiers — Perfect for landing right on the beat, Good for close enough, and Miss for back to basics — which turns the whole session into a push for a cleaner run. It was built in three days for Score Jam 37 and runs directly in the browser.

Gesture-based instruction that teaches each trick before you perform it
