Nice idea.

I realy like the idea that you have not unlimmeted amunation and so a bit of a meta Game envolves where you tray to block a masive cube stack but keep the balls to do so in your space so you can overpower the other side for a goal. a 2 player version whoud be nice, because the AI dosn't get this level of strategic play

It is a good idea, use strategy to beat the enemy, but the AI is too weak.

Nice idea, addictive game :)

Nice mechanics, and nice way to keep the balls in play every 10 seconds. I'd like to see more of this, especially more related to doing interesting stuff on the playing fiild, some risk-reward mechanics (doing some trickshots might push all pucks slightly towards the enemy... no idea) anything to break the monotony of shooting pucks better than the enemy, anything that would create interesting patterns of gameplay. But very very nice concept.

I like the concept. It's not really fun yet thought. The ammo limit is a nice idea, but it leads to nothing happening a lot of the time. In general it feels like it needs to be quite a bit faster. Perhaps make the balls more forceful?

Also, I quite like the way it looks.

The game is very enjoyable and innovative, though the constant addition of boxes really hinders the gameplay at some point.

Cool idea, especially the ammunition system, but the game tends to get very stuck (for me at least). I think increasing the power of shots would make it more fun.

Cool concept! I agree with Tusoalsob in that I wish there was a two player version. But I thought it was really fun.

Fun! I wish there was a two player version on one pc :)

I'll probably add in a two player in the near future, shouldn't be too much work if it's shared keyboard or something. I'll wait coz I'm guessing I shouldn't be adding functionality after the deadline :)

Very funny! Very nice concept and well use of physics!! I agree with two players it can hilarious

Good game! The balls look like vegetable XD When a puck gets in a corner you can't do anything about it anymore :(

Nice idea, this would probably be very cool in multiplayer :)
