Micro Gaelic Football
Micro Gaelic Football is an unofficial indie Gaelic football management game where you build your club, develop facilities, and watch or play matches in a retro-style football world.
Play in your browser or download the game from itch.io for Windows and from the Google Play Store for android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microgaelicfootball.game
Inspired by the sport loved by GAA fans, but not affiliated with or endorsed by the GAA.
Platforms supported
The game is playable on both desktop and mobile in a web browser (click Run Game).
Careers will be saved in your browser's local storage when you play in the browser but they will be deleted if you clear your browser's cache.
On mobile the best experience when actually playing the matches is to download the android app you can download from the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microgaelicfootball.game
I've also made a downloadable version of the game for Windows so you can keep your career saved games safe.

Game is very good. do you plan on making a player customisation? Also the game seems to struggle to run on safari on ipad and iPhone, but on computer browser it’s perfect
Thanks so much for playing! I'm making a list of future enhancements I'll definitely add player/team customisation to it.
Yeah the experience when playing on mobile web is very laggy.
I'd love to make a native ios version but unfortunately I don't have any Apple equipment but I'll see what I can do.
can there be a cpu vs cpu spectate mode?
Interesting idea! I'm working on a career mode at the moment I'll see if that could be incorporated into it. The final scores could be very random 😂
Love it! Up Donegal!
Career mode would be great, as would controller support!
Thanks a mil for playing! Both are on the agenda.
amazing little game! i could get hooked on the career mode
Thanks a lot! I'm going to get working on a career mode.
