Plus points for music/sound.
Graphics are decent. Would have been cool if the ball inverted to white when in the right half of the screen.
Concept isn't too bad, but the mechanics aren't doing it for me. It feels awkward in a bad way, instead of silly and fun like physics games should.

I couldn't connect to your website to download/play the game. It might be under some stress right now.

I like your backstory for the game! It's pretty challenging to grab the ball, and then when you do it sometimes flies off by itself. The most I could do was throw it back and fourth three times before dying.

Yeah sorry about those play mechanics guys(grabbing the ball, string physics), they worked much better on the windows version. Currently trying to figure out what went wrong with them on the HTML port.

Cool concept, I found it hard to play but that was probably just me haha.

Great mechanics!

Congrats on finishing your game. It was kind hard to maneuver

Stuck throwing a void ball through a portal until you die, it's exactly like my day job! D:

Hey, I liked the look and feel but found it very difficult. The swinging balls are great. Good job!

Nice game, but I could not play so well since I was playing alone, but think that it would work great with two persons.

It took me awhile to figure out that I needed to click "versus" before moving to the keyboard. All documentation said use wasd and keys. Otherwise, interesting take on a few classics. The rocket guy reminds me of Nes from Earthbound and his yoyo.

Interesting game. Hard to play both sides, though. Although, I understand that that's not how it should be played.

Cool idea and nice graphics! The human looks funny hehehe
A polished post compo version could be interesting ^_^
