Love the art style! The people, the ball, the score, the particles, it all looks great! I wish it was clearer when you had a person following the cursor and when you didn't. Like maybe if the circle changed color if there was a person actively following it?
Now that I've finished it I have to say, lovely concept. I wish the core loop were a bit more engaging. I've had shoulder problems that have made using a mouse kind of difficult so getting through the game was a bit tedious. But I powered through it because I wanted to know what would happen next.
Also I found some typos:
forget the exact line but the after the second knock knock joke the scorekeeper says something like "I already did this bit already", they say already twice. Maybe that's intentional?
also towards the end "but for now1" there's a stray 1 in there.
