I think this is a super interesting idea and would love to see it played with a few people. This could be really cool if it was built into Twitch (like something you could play on a just chatting stream for instance).

The idea is really cool and I would love to play this. Could be a very fun (remote) party game in Corona lockdown times :). I think it was a very ambitious project for 13 days, but still cool that you have a prototype on which you can build up.

Time GuitarThanks.
I was aware that it would be ambitious from the get go. But with kids at home and some motivation downs I didn’t spend enough time to polish it.
If you like it, I’ll continue after the voting period. The source code is on GitHub in case you want to follow along.
A post-mortem is in draft status.
The idea is interesting and innovative, sorry to see it doesn't work here :(
Sound and graphics are not so good though, it was hard for me to understand where the ball is :)

Recycle | No Future Without ItIf you took a look at the XKCD comic, you’d notice, that in the final version, no ball will be seen. Only for the visitors, who will cheer you up and lead you (or your opponent?) using emojis.
Do you have ideas on how to manage sound with a GameLoop? I’m not a game dev by profession, so I was a bit struggling here. I think, I should cut the sound a bit shorter and somehow avoid a loop playback …
It depends on the tools you build your game with. In Phaser it's pretty simple to manage sound.
And specifically about the sounds in your game, crowd shout is too short and plays in a loop, so it feels too repetitive. I'd recommend to find a longer sample for this sound, with some additional crowd noises, so it feels like an environment and not just a single sound on a loop.
I really like what you were aiming for, jams are always hard to get innovative things done but I think it is always worth the shot. Good work getting a hot seat version going.
