An important-looking document has just been delivered from the boardroom. Let's give it a read…

Ruairi dx is delighted to announce a brand new partnership that sees Bang Average Football fall under the multi-award-winning publisher Secret Mode banner.
This is the second foray into the beautiful game of football for newly independent publisher Secret Mode, following the announcement of the retro football management game NUTMEG! early last month. Known for their work on several award-winning titles, such as the triple BAFTA-winning Still Wakes the Deep and A Little to the Left, Secret Mode is determined to take Bang Average Football to new heights and support Ruairi dx in growing the fan base.
Bang Average Football is a fast-paced, addictive, easy-to-learn pixel art football game where you take on the challenge of being a player-manager for a struggling football team that’s lost its way after the glory days. Players can also challenge their friends for footballing glory in a 1-4 player multiplayer mode, and use the Steam Workshop to customise their player experience.
Alongside this announcement, three new kit types will be released, free of charge. Please see our example Secret Mode Kit that highlights one of these new designs. Two new options are also now selectable in quick matches and tournament mode - a golden goal rule, and fully customisable match time limits.
There will also be a collaboration between Bang Average Football and NUTMEG! This partnership will see eight brand new sponsors added to Bang Average Football, taken from the retro footy management game by Sumo Sheffield, providing new options to support your club on their journey back to stardom.

Ruairi had this to say on the partnership. “From the first whistle, this felt like a match made in football heaven. Secret Mode's love of football, both on the pitch and on the screen, makes this an incredibly exciting partnership, and I think fans of Bang Average Football are really going to enjoy what we've got planned for the future.“
“Bang Average Football is not just a seriously fun and rewarding game – it’s a love letter to the things so many of us enjoy about football and sport”, said Secret Mode’s Chief Publishing Officer, James Schall. “Teamwork, narrative, the journey, community, overcoming adversity, togetherness – it’s all in there. We’re delighted to put pen to paper with Ruairi dx on this exciting incoming for the Secret Mode squad, and to introduce more players to the joy of Bang Average Football.”
To celebrate this exciting deadline day acquisition, Bang Average Football is 25% off for a limited time. Tell your friends and take to the pitch!
