Air hockey with a twist! Score by hitting the puck of your color into the opponent!

I wrote the song for it in about 2 hours, it's here for download on my SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/acuitynpc/orbdefender

Controls:

WASD for Blue and Arrow Keys for Red. Both can hit the purple puck, blue can hit blue puck and red can hit red puck. The puck changes color each time it hits a wall.

Notes:

There are still some bugs - it's possible to spawn multiple pucks by having multiple collisions happen at once, and the score gets weird after that. It took me a while to figure out how to use variables from other objects, and I ended up doing a really convoluted way of keeping score (it's a variable on the purple/blue/red puck which despawns and respawns).

I'll actually try to clean this up and add stuff for a post-compo version later. The code is really messy and it's still buggy.
