It got easier after I figured out that you could charge up a kick with magic sparkly power. Still very difficult.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Most of the time, I was running up to position for a kick and the ball would roll out of range by the time I started the kick or I would get too close and nudge it away before I had a chance to kick it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think it might work better if you could run around holding space.

It would be nice if there was an easier way to change directions with the ball, rather than having to run around to the other side of it, then accidentaly bumping into it and sending it rolling away because the player is too close when they try to turn. (if there is a way to do this, I'm missing it. Maybe it's possible using the tap space to control thing, but it would still be nice to have a quicker way)"},{"author_name":"jeffz","author_uid":"4842","time":"Dec 23, 2011 @ 8:32am","epoch":1324628820,"text":"executed well, congrats!"},{"author_name":"Yezu","author_uid":"33","time":"Dec 23, 2011 @ 1:13pm","epoch":1324645680,"text":"Difficult, but a lot of fun :)"},{"author_name":"matthias_zarzecki","author_uid":"3880","time":"Dec 23, 2011 @ 5:50pm","epoch":1324662300,"text":"Ha, awesome idea!"},{"author_name":"chardish","author_uid":"3946","time":"Dec 25, 2011 @ 4:17am","epoch":1324786320,"text":"Solid."},{"author_name":"Matt Rix","author_uid":"5646","time":"Dec 27, 2011 @ 6:37am","epoch":1324967520,"text":"Fantastic game overall.
