Fun game! Sometimes it was hard to see where the "goalkeeper" was but that made the game a bit more interesting though! :)
Smooth graphics and music, good job.

I'm just seeing a black screen (Win7x64, Firefox 20.0.1, Chrome 26.0.1410.64)

Very nice and simple
I assume you had no time to make an AI, that make it hard to play alone (!)
The inertia combined with the energy are somehow not good enough to make it really fun, but it's a good idea.
The web plugin crash on my mac (OS X 10.8, iMac 27") but the Mac standalone worked perfectly.

Fun game, would have scored more if there was an AI of some sorts.

What's this plugin it's asking me to install?

@juaxix I don't know if I'm the right person to give advice, but I think the inertia makes it less fun, so remove it or use the energy bar to give a boost (direction + boost to launch the eye instead of whatever you can move to with the energy you got) ?

It's good and very simple!. I didn't find a way to exit properly, does any button allow you to do that?. Nice soundtrack, by the way ;)

@My Milked Eek thanks

@Dark Acre Jack try other versions , the engine is Shiva 3D from stonetrip.com, if you click the web version it needs the engine plugin of course, like the Unity do the same thing...

@FredericRP you are right, I'm gonna change the controls with drag-drop and also this is a good thing to export the game to mobile/tablet platforms :) thanks

@gokuhd thanks, music is made by arteria3d.com , there is no exit button, just alt-f4, apple-q or linux-kill will do the task :D --minimalism--

Thanks for making the video, it was very helpful since I don't have any friends to play with.

This is really cool, nice atmosphere and nice music. I wish the force bar went down slower, but I guess that might make it too easy.

Well done, man.

Good to see another multiplayer game submitted. I think these sorts of games have a lot of potential, but benefit a lot from frantic action. The force bar here changes the pace of the game to be much more methodical, and I'm not sure if that suits the mechanics well. A bug note: it looks like player 2 doesn't need to colorize the ball for it to register as a goal.

@alts thanks!, yes, i'm going to change the controls to comprehend a congruent behaviour which follows the appropiate game mechanics, and yes, there was a bug but i forgot to update the version in dropbox, thanks for bring this to my attention, now is updated :)

Nice, however on linux version the goal numbers are kinda off, near screen's edge so it's hard to see. But it works well.

Interesting idea, here on Linux i got no sound and i can can't move realy down. The lower third is unreachable.

Nice multiplayer game. It's a bit hard to tell when a ball is going to be repelled by a ring and who owns each ball. I do like the force mechanic but I always forget to release movement. Great job on the game!

Pretty cool, very simple mechanics make for a really addictive experience. Would be nice to have music and or sound effects though. Good job!

thanks all for playing :) yeahhhh

@Drabiter , @CKaukamp : The engine exporter must be improved for the GNU/Linux OS...

@zazery : there is 2 spheres in each goal-keeper/arcs that prevent the other ball-eye to enter.

@Jellycakes: thanks man, it was nice to see you playing the game in your streaming :) the game has sound but you need to set the volume a little more high

Very simple and very catchy. Is there a problem with sound because with other games, the sound is fine. Did you set the volume too low?
