Best bits: This is an amusingly morbid variation on a classic genre in the sports game that reminds me of early NES games. Local two-player co-operative games are a great idea to explore how to create competitive game mechanics without having to get too technical with an AI.
Ideas: There's a great foundation here to build on a sports game. Think about about how games like Pong keep the pace of the game fast and fair. How could the puck behave to help keep the movement more consistent? And what could happen when a point is scored to make it fairer?
