Nice! It's a solid little game, feels really tight to play, and gives the feeling that it could be fairly competitive if you got good at the mechanics. I like it.
Looks and sounds fantastic. I wish there was more direct control. The jump is a tiny hop in midair, and the side to side movement is mild compared to inertia. I have no idea whether my rockets are ready to fire.
That lack of direct control made it quite hard for me as a new player. I did play local multiplayer and we had to agree to stop shooting each other to explore the movement and figure out how it worked.
But it's slick production and I did have some fun button-mashing.

Visuals, controls and sounds are amazing! No lag, everything is very smooth. Love it! note: I wish I could shoot more
These people life-streamed the entire thing, the game play is fun! Personally though I'd have preferred a higher firing rate and object velocity to play a role in damage output to the other orb.
The orbs look cool, I think if the visuals had an hour or two more polish they'd be awesome.
I can already imagine the game with unlocks such as rocket boosts! :D
There are a few interface bugs that shouldn't take long to fix. But most of all, this is a fun mini game they can be proud of.
pretty neat brawling ball game! I played it by myself, but I could see how fun it would be with 2 players some kind of indication when you reload would be the only suggestion I have. nice work!
Really well made game, the physic is really perfect and the sound effects are gorgeous. But actually in order to perfectly be in the theme, your game could be describe as a pinball fighting game, and by imagining the same idea inside a real pinball would make, in my opinion an insane game. Still a really fun game, but imagine futuristice pinball fighting game of robots. Perfect! ;)
Since I'm a billy no-mates I couldn't really test this game to its fullest, but it seems really fun. The graphics are excellent, the feel of the game is pretty satisfying. The whole mood of the game is just intense and action-packed. Good stuff.
Unfortunately I didn't have a second player so it ended up being Right Hand vs Left Hand. :) Right Hand won!
This handled REALLY well. The controls were good, nice and smooth. There was a lot of quality player feedback, and I felt like I could sit and stay for awhile. :)
Definitely something worth working on post-LD. Power ups, different levels, and just more content in general will make this game super-awesome! Solid foundation. :)

That was quite a bit of fun to play! Impressive to see what you managed to create in such a short time frame. I'm sure that your game dev future is bright indeed. :)
Frenetic game! I like that entry. You just need to blow your opponent, once, and twice, and again, and again. Before I played this one, I'm absolutelly relaxed. Good work :D
Wow, I was really impressed with this one. The screenshots do it no justice. The handling is fantastic. It's so satisfying knocking the players around. The bouncing is handled perfectly and the players are super responsive to the controls. The sounds is also really good, as well as the visuals. Particles were spot on, shadows and lighting were great. Would be neat to have some sort of tutorial level, and a round end / begin function would be a great addition. Varying characters could also be really good. I ended up playing by myself right hand vs left so some sort of simple AI would be crucial. Hope to see you continue with this one. Nicely done.
Had no second person to play with but I played against myself :P Fun game to play on stream and would be even better with a second person. Art was really nice as well I might fetch a second person and try it on stream again great game.
Though I wish there were more moves that you could do besides floating and shooting, this game has GREAT graphics and is very well implemented! Awesome entry!
Very well polished, and I loved the screenshakes during the ramming and shots. More control to cause bouncing would be nice. As an example, pressing down might cause your ball to bounce higher.
In my personal opinion, the bounce was the best part of the game, yet most underutilized.

Tried alone but I can feel how much is it fun with a friend ^^

Would definitely play a game like this on a console with a friend!
Graphics and sounds are pretty good!
Great job!

Played this with my friend for a while and had a blast. No pun intended.
