Shape Hockey is a physics game written in JavaScript with the help of the Phaser framework.

Tools used:
sfxr for sound effects.
LMMS for music.
Paint.net for images.
SublimeText for code editing.

The game has been tested in Chrome, Firefox and Edge. (Internet Explorer can't play wav. I will create mp3s if there is public demand. ^.^ )

Tip: The further the mouse pointer is from "your" balls, the faster they travel towards your mouse pointer.

Very well done. Quite original if you ask med.

Very interesting concept. Fun to play. Took a bit to get used to the controls.

Cool new control scheme. Should work well as a mobile game also.

I didn't really get the idea of the changing shape. What was the point there?

Cool and different game :)

Well done! I really liked the idea of control. Another aspect that worth mentioning is the fact the the red object gets bigger after each click, making it easier and encouraging the player to finish the level.

It turned out pretty polished! Very frustrating gameplay though!

Weird way to control the shape, but interesting. Not sure it works exactly as it is, but trying out some twists to it might yield something better. Not sure I understood what the deal was with the changing shape.
