Web version is not recommended - no microphone support, no post render effects, no controller support. Download version for you operating system, adjust microphone and speakers and have a blast.
This is 1-2 player game where you score by... you will figure it out. Play against AI (Robot :D ) or against friend. Use Arrow keys for player 1 and WASD for player 2. Or use thumb-sticks on controller or controllers.

Big tanks (in alphabetical orger) to: mikegamer131, nimthora, oobienation, rotru_gamedev and skusku for watching entire development precess on Twitch. Thank you for the following, chatting and believing, that I can finish this game.
Follow me on Twitch/Twitter to see how I did it (in past broadcasts), look how post-compo version may be developed, or to find out about and play more of my games. (On behalf of Shameless Self Promotion Group;))
Small bug fix: - Correct material applied to robot arms. Black - Fixed use of [Q] key. Now it triggers bloom too. - Wallpaper and floor material accepting shadows. - Camera now focuses on the table doing gameplay if not controlled by the mouse.
Yep, took me a few plays to figure out the goal, but in the end...yeah, it's fun! And I love that the game itself is explicitly not limited to a screen (you can move the view), but it *is* "on a single screen." I've always wanted one of those arcade cocktail machines for my house.
Yes, as I write in description web version can be played with keyboard - no support for controller. Downloaded version is not only looks 1000000 times better, but have controller support, microphone support to make game looks better. You can use [Q] key to toggle render if you experience render lag/FPS drop.
Quite a fun game! Took a small while to work out what to do, but once I did, it was really enjoyable. I like how you rather cleverly made it so the puck wouldn't get stuck in the corners, certainly goes a long way to preventing cheating. The game looks good too, so good work!
really good game! despite its being a simple mechanic, it is well executed and polished. One really minor complaint: once the game starts, the camera should zoom to the table.
Excellent work, especially on the graphics and interesting microphone as score multiplier. Fitting to the theme and a moody room (all in a compo game... you're crazy good!).
Gameplay could use a little work, but the environment and energy make up for it. A human opponent might tip the scales too but unfortunately I'm alone.

Hahahaha, really fun game! Very challenging. It has many features if you consider the time put in this. Pretty polished, theme perfectly implemented. The fact that you need to find out how to win makes it more fun. Great work!
Lots of frenetic fun! Interesting mechanics; I like how you worked the microphone input, lots of people experiment with that but few use it effectively. Awesome Job!
Impressive! Best compo game I've seen so far. Looks very polished, gameplay is interesting, and the music is great. One minor complaint would be that it's hard to perceive depth sometimes, but all the rest more than makes up for it.
After I figured out what to do the game was quite fun I liked playing from that first person and I could see that guy playing against me fun game. I actually enjoyed beating the AI for some reason...
Hi there. Interesting take on theme. Found the control for single player tricky would prefer WASD also work for single plr. Maybe more feedback in the main part of screen when score points would be nice. Like the sounds and visuals. Good job!
I enjoyed this game very much! I Included it in part 11 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/09kdLS-s81I
Blue player was controlled with the right stick of it's controller, which was odd.
We tried to use our microphone, but it didn't seem to do anything other than add visual noise (pun intended).
Game itself was fine, it's impressive you got an AI working that isn't extremely smart.
Using the mouse to look around feels like only a way to make sure the player knows the game is entirely in a screen as in on top of a TV screen and not in a game screen, which is a bold thing to do. Though I must say I'm confused as to that use of the theme.
Graphics are stunning for a compo entry, great job!

I'll download the windows version to check if it have the same problema to me.
I specially love the music in this game.
