Neat game! Definitely creative, and a mechanic that goes against my every instinct.
The rebounding logic on the back and sides of the net felt a little odd to use. Sometimes it seemed like it should've deflected, instead of going in the net. There was also the spawning logic for balls going directly in your net, I swear I would've won a game if not for those cheesy shots 😂(maybe a preview of a ball spawning in and / or having a slower initial speed could've helped?)
Great work!

Raft MadnessIt was very fun to play and actually pretty hard. The Webbuild worked pretty good on Opera and I had no major problems (except that I kept loosing haha)
The graphics are very nice! Great concept aswell tho it melted my brain a little haha
Congrats on this game jam submission!

Sheep Gone WrongThis had my brain melting, I kept wanting to let the ball go into the goal. Otherwise I had a lot of fun after getting the hang of it. One major problem is there is practically no time to react after scoring a goal if the trajectory is straight back into yours.

Postgame GiveawayThe hitboxes feel a bit weird sometimes, but other than that it plays very smoothly. Great visual style and sound effects as well, great entry!!

Siege the FortressAdd even more balls FASTER!!! Was really fun and worked well with 2 players.

The last Piece standingReally well done! I really liked how the arena isn't a rectangle as it adds for extra confusion and chaos when there's more than one ball on screen. I think it would be good if the back of the goals had colliders to so that the ball isn't just going through from behind. Otherwise, really nice take on Pong!

Cop Rob SwapInteresting concept. I like the addition of a second ball after a certain amount of time passes. I wish the ball couldn't aim directly at my net when it spawns though.

Backstabbing KingPretty fun game, reversing the roles where you still play as the paddle but avoid the ball instead. Only thing I'd say is it's a bit easy as you can just copy the AI's strategy of staying in the corner.
