Nice game, great ball. There should be better difficulty balance between keyboard + mouse player and game pad. Maybe shorter floating in the air would be more fun.

The .dll file is missing and I can't run it. :(
Sorry for that and thanks for info, fixed ;)
Fun game, not much to say besides that. I'm not sure how incompatible the genres were, but that might also just be that you combined them quite decently.
ALso, after the timer runs out you switch to two-player mode.
It is fun to play, with nice graphics, but lacks some polishing. Good Job!
I could see myself playing a lot of this with a friend. Sadly I didn't have a friend to test it with. That said, I like the feel of the movement and the effect of the blast radius on the ball. Also, rocket jumping ftw!
Even though I didn't have a friend to give me a hand, I really enjoyed what I saw from a game that could become tons of fun in multiplayer. The graphics are neat (with a more expressive audience than in so many sports games !), the audio does its job, the gameplay has many subtleties (rocket jump, angle of the ball, ...). Maybe the animations felt a bit too long/detailed at times, but great job overall !
Great Product! I amazed what a lot of people get together in 3 days.
This could be the new rocket league (literaly, because of actual rockets). It's very fun, with some more polishing I can totally see this as an extremely addicting multiplayer game.
Awesome work!
Fun game... pitifully i could not try 2p mode, that I think should be awesome
Movement of the viewfinder sometimes is jerky
Good job
If you want to try mine

First of all, the cat head with goggles as a ball is hilarious, i really like the centaurs around the arena, and the music fits well within the game. This is a great couch game to chill and play with friends. Obviously it is similar to rocket league (which is one of my favorite games), but this is the first spin-off i have played that is actually fun to play. I really like being able to rocket jump, but not being able to move while in the air made it almost useless. Also it could just be my bad aiming skills, but it seems like the ball could have been a little bigger as it was difficult to get it to go anywhere near where i wanted it to go. Overall a great experience!
Whoa an Unreal Tournament Rocket League mashup :O
This is very cool and could potentially go a long way. Few things: - Wish the ball was bigger, softer but lost horizontal speed a bit more to circumvent it. That way it would allow for more more aerial play to cover that huge space in the arena - Bonus pickups like speed boosts, etc. - Different weapon types could push it further
Overall an ambitious submission, wish you folks would continue pimping this one up.
These are my thoughts
**Good**
I find the concept quite clever. As a fan of Rocket League, I thought it was pretty funny
The models for the big scary man are quite good, and the fact they have the texture and glossy material on them is a job well done
You were able to get a good amount of sound effects in, and they are somewhat good. Not amazing, but decent.
The particle effect trailing the ball is a nice touch. Most people won't notice it, but it really helps you coordinate the direction of the ball.
The bounce of the wall is really good physics. It keeps momentum in the game and it feels natural
The arrow tracking the ball is a good addition and I'm happy you put the time to put it in
**Improvements**
The sound balance is a little off, of course, it would help if you had settings. I think the music should be put more in the background
The effect with turning the player is a bit wonky. The player's body needs to rotate with the camera better. The gun is going through the player's body at points. Needs some cleaning up
The floor needs a material on it
I think you should make the player jump higher to have better advantage points. Maybe add jackpacks or something futuristic.
Cool entry, see you in the next jam!
Dachshund men, cat ball, leaving a very very confused player! Pew! hehe.
A lot to like here. Some good polish, for example, the particle fx on the ball and scoring. Rocket jumping was a nice touch. Mechanically the game played and worked well. I think it might be interesting to try the rocket trail having a push effect on it so it can nudge the ball for glancing shots. In terms of critique, I think the explosion sound could be have a filter run over it to soften it a little. Lastly, of course, great use of theme.
I had an opportunity to play it just after finishing the jam. Graphics is a little bit scary, but later this game turned out to be great to play with friends :)
