One-liners

There has never been a good lacrosse video game. So we made one.

Top Cheddar is the lacrosse game players wanted as kids: NFL Blitz energy, a 3×5 pixel font, an original chiptune soundtrack, and every moment that matters played with one thumb. "Top cheddar" is lacrosse slang for a shot into the top corner of the net.

Features

Offense: left thumb runs; pass, dodge and shoot with the right. Hold SHOOT to slow time and aim a corner.
Faceoffs: clamp, battle, exit lane, and READ HIS EXIT when you lose the battle.
Goalie POV: the big shots cut to the goalie's view of the cage.
Box lacrosse: five a side indoors, big hits, penalties, power plays, ON FIRE streaks, optional fights, a 1v1 shootout.
Sixes: the Olympic format, 21 European nations, and online 5 v 5 with free player cards.
Coach career: three tiers with promotion and relegation, salary cap, draft, free agency, staff, facilities, training, awards.
Shootouts: five rounds then sudden death, pass and play or online, with a ranked leaderboard.
Cheat codes entered at kickoff; real clubs and leagues in the game.
Deterministic replays: every goal, save and faceoff can be re-rendered from a seed.
