MogoTXT has raised $78,000 in a Kickstarter campaign to create an arcade-style football game dubbed Gridiron Thunder.

The pro-football title still has 14 days to go in its crowdfunding campaign, but it has already raised $78,123 from 110 backers, beating the original goal of $75,000. Andrew Won, chief executive at MogoTXT, described the game as a return to the arcade experience. The crazy, rambunctious release will feature wild touchdown dances and exaggerated features on the animated players.
