It was fun figuring it out and though its a multiplier I think you could modify it to be single player as well. Consider changing it to points per player, like if you make it you get the point. I say this because I tried just making it into one goal and it was difficult to control where the ball went.

I found it a bit difficult to aim. Maybe the player should be a circle to simplify the physics predictions that players need to think about. Would be nice to have a single player mode.

I thought the idea was interesting, and it's definitely something that could be expanded on more.\r\rIt was somewhat difficult to intentionally hit the ball correctly, having that auto-target in there was a nice touch and probably helped a great deal though. Perhaps the ball was a bit too sensitive, since touching it sends it flying all over the place... creating a nice bit of chaos... but at the same time making things a bit haphazard. \r\rThe idea of limiting the player to jumps was a cool avenue to explore, though that in addition to the overly sensitive ball creates a loss of control which I found to be somewhat discouraging.\r\rI didn't mind the lack of direction, I ended up trying to only score in the right goal since it made a more positive sound."},{"author_name":"Rodaja","author_uid":"29557","time":"Dec 28, 2014 @ 5:06pm","epoch":1419786060,"text":"The ball gets too much speed from a touch, feels like the kind of thing that is funny while developing but takes away from the possibilities of gameplay as getting skilled is imposible due to the huge chaos that interferes with the ball movement.\r\rStaying in the place to where you jumped and the screenshake make for great feel, but some effects like the trails in the characters take a bit away from it.\r\rIt could be a fun game if toned down a bit.
