I don't get this one. My teammates seem to be able to ring the gong but I don't seem to be able to. There seems to be reason to knock all the enemy team out as well. Overall, I feel like this could be really nice, but it probably needs some work on becoming a bit more intuitive, as I was lost during my game. Keep up the good progress!

Thanks man. You can only ring the gongs with the gold ball(the one in the cover image above). It's only mentioned once in the pause menu so I guess I should have put it on the title screen or something seeing as I don't have a tutorial yet.
But if the gold ball wasn't ringing the gongs, then that's a huge problem!

I didn't even know there was a gold ball! I didn't notice lol. Might be good to make the gold ball glow and be otherwise really noticable.

Very fun to play game. Not much I can say about it other than I had a great time playing it. The first match was really easy but then in the second match it seems the other team AI played much better, or maybe it's just my imagination. This could be very fun to play in multiplayer. 

The game looks fine as is but I can imagine how popular this could get if you make some quirky characters for the players, maybe some funny looking animals or maybe like all the players are penguins or something silly like that. Also maybe adding some environmental harzards to cause chaos could be a interesting feature to add but in an alternate mode as that would interfere with the core gamplay of the game but would probably benefit to have different modes like that.  Also, consider making like thematic backgrounds, I think it would add a lot to the experience, nothing really fancy, just some low poly flat textured blocks that resemble different types of environments like a forest, mountain, city, tropical beach and so on.

Very nice demo, I liked it a lot.

I completely agree with just about everything you said, though I do want to try human characters first alongside more quirky ones.
I'm going to have some different level shapes like say a slightly S shaped level or long skinny level, but a hazards mode sounds really awesome too. Definitely would be a cool for variety.
I do want to make some pretty nice looking levels, too. The levels are all just simple stadiums so i think I'll be able to focus a fair bit on making the art.
Local multiplayer is definitely a must but maannn I dread the idea of having to make online multiplayer. I'll try to make it but we'll see how that goes.
Thanks so much, man! So encouraging to hear it's actually fun.
Oh and yeah the ai doesn't change, they're just all over the place. Got a lot of work to do on the weird ai.
