Everybody's childhood dream is to have a hoverboard.

Tried it by myself, which probably isn't as much fun :)

Nice art, doesn't seem like there's an end state. Arrows should probably clip to screen edge so you have a better idea where you are if you're off screen.

fun gameplay, but a game end, and a points system could have made some big differences.
its quite cool though, that you can catch the ball again after you have thrown it. :)

The art style is splendid! A very clear mechanism, and PvP game is always exciting, good job!

This looks so cool. I hope this goes further, such as adding stage hazards and power-ups. The graphics look very polished, and the gameplay was nice.

This is another game I come across so far with multi-player functionality. And they have SO MUCH POTENTIAL as cool party games!

overall idea was great however there were some design flaws like how the camera wasn't following the player instead it was following the ball making it hard to navigate through the vast field. I quite enjoyed the gameplay though even though the second player wasn't working for me. Great artstyle! with a little more polish this game will be hella fun! it has potential nice entry!
