I've already worked with Zigfu + Unity before on my computer, so I'm not a reference to tell if the package.

From watching it and playing similar Kinect games, isn't it a bit odd watching the balls move away from you instead of watching them move toward you?"},{"author_name":"ronsho","author_uid":"1273","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 1:38am","epoch":1367285580,"text":"@Spiridios haha yeah, I guess it is.  I just decided to start with a mirror image of the player, I guess because it is about the player's body.  But it definitely adds to the difficulty, since if the player were deflecting balls coming from the other direction, they'd probably see them coming from farther off.
