I'm impressed with a multiplayer game! I had to play myself and could score a single ball, but still impressive.

It's awesome that this game was made in 72h. I followed the stream of HardlyDifficult since friday and know that a lot a people help in the creation of the game, congrats to all of them.
It was a lot of fun! The mechanic is funny and you designed it with lots of love.
Really enjoyed playing even though it lagged a lot on my PC (web version). The theme was well implemented. I was cursed with the cloud spell first, which is kinda OP so I would like to see some categorization of the curses/potioneffects in terms of impact they have on playing difficulty. The throw mechanic is great in my eyes and feels very natural/immersive. Graphics and sound are very nice ! On the imaginary "plz add to the game" list I would hope for: - interaction with more of the environment ( candles for example ), - a way to defend while the opponent is throwing ( like the real beer pong has ).
Great job guys ! XOXO Uno
Awesome that you were able to add multiplayer to this. Congrats for this fun game!
Props for submitting a multiplayer game. Did you use UNet or something different?
Those graphics kind of remind me of [this](http://www.hummelwalker.de/2014/05/25/deutsches-unity-buch/)...
Just loved it!
Very good graphics and concept!
I like the concept and the spells are pretty cool. Nicely done on making a multiplayer game too!
didn't expect to find a multiplayer game in the LD entries. great job.
Multiplayer is wild nice work!
I had no partner to play so i was not able to get the full experience of the game. The graphics and the sound in this game are amazing. I also got a couple of shots in on the other side. The gameplay was pretty flawless and nice to play. The credits look like that it was a group effort and a great team stream ... I was not watching your stream because of my own jam but it looks like you had a lot of fun with this jam. Overall a great game!
The idea of adapting beer pong in a sorcerer way is really awesome. Smooth gameplay, but as I have no friends I would have liked a single player mode. Btw, at first I downloaded the linux zip file and got a .exe, not sure that it's supposed to be like that.
I like the idea but controls are buggy :/
I think I sank more balls into my own potion pots than my opponent's. I like the take on the theme and the twist on beer pong. Really cool that you went for a networked game. I do wish the turns were a bit faster. Overall I think it was fun and would work well as a silly multiplayer phone app game you could play with friends.
Wish I would have be able to find someone else playing. Playing myself was ok though. Multiplayer games are hard to do in just a few days good work.
If you would like you could try my HTML5 game
it is a programming puzzle platforming game in 3D.
Nice graphics and cool idea ! Perhaps controls a little bit difficult. Good job :)
Cool game, but it is too hard to aim at the potions. Maybe fewer larger pots could accelerate games, it is frustrating to miss multiple times in a row as nothing happen in such case.
