Such a uniquely different take on the episode, and lovingly brought to live through slick graphics, solid gameplay, and cool music! It all feels buttery smooth, from presentation to gameplay! Especially love how cute the main character is, and the way he chokes a bit when a football goes into his mouth! Well done :)
Side thought: It seems like the best way to win, is to just stick to the surface as much as possible? Since getting hit by a football in the air would throw one backwards quite a bit, where else on the surface, one gets stuck in the bumps and is free to carry on after a while. Perhaps some obstacles to make the player fly more would make it more challenging? :)

Thanks for playing!!!
Original design idea was that the players would be able to duck behind those humps. But then, to make the game even more challenging we allowed the particles to phase through the humps. I think the best way to win is to stay afloat in air.. That way you get more room to dodge... but then when you get hit, you lose distance... I'd say sticking to ground is a safe play style but slow.... while staying afloat is faster but risky IMO.
