Alien Side: Arrows to control. Space to release ball.
How To Play
-Only had time to implement the multi-player mode..
-If the ball stays on your side for 10 seconds it will blow up. When it is thrown to the other side it will restart the timer.
-Touch the catcher on the end of your string to the the ball and it will pick it up.
-Swing, jam or otherwise throw the void ball through the portal to the other side of the portal so it doesn't kill you.
The game is meant to have a high skill cap, don't give up!
STORY-ish
A void opened up on the White House lawn, connecting our world to another. Then a void ball spawned and threatened to turn into a black hole and destroy our planet. So America and the aliens both found their finest civilian to attempt to save their world by throwing the void ball into through the void into the other world.
*Something has gone wrong with the HTML version and has made player lose grip on the ball very quickly, if you have the option I'd recommend downloading the Windows version for a bit better experience.
Plus points for music/sound. Graphics are decent. Would have been cool if the ball inverted to white when in the right half of the screen. Concept isn't too bad, but the mechanics aren't doing it for me. It feels awkward in a bad way, instead of silly and fun like physics games should.
I like your backstory for the game! It's pretty challenging to grab the ball, and then when you do it sometimes flies off by itself. The most I could do was throw it back and fourth three times before dying.
Yeah sorry about those play mechanics guys(grabbing the ball, string physics), they worked much better on the windows version. Currently trying to figure out what went wrong with them on the HTML port.
It took me awhile to figure out that I needed to click "versus" before moving to the keyboard. All documentation said use wasd and keys. Otherwise, interesting take on a few classics. The rocket guy reminds me of Nes from Earthbound and his yoyo.
