I have one important improvement request: please make the game restart on pressing space. For a game that you play with two hands on the keyboard, and have to restart every 5 seconds, it's annoying that you have to scramble for the mouse every time.
My best was 4.
While the difficulty of the game is part of its appeal, I think you should make it easier to start. Maybe have the sack floating in front of the legs to start off. I had trouble just starting the game because having the sack just drop straight down and not keep its momentum when you start was kind of hard to get used to
This game is incredibly goofy, very difficult, but also rewarding when you get a good rhythm going. I felt that the sound effects were rather obnoxious, however. There isn't that much more I can say. Well, it's a very good entry, just for the humor factor! Great job!
The hit box on the foot was a little small but I eventually adapted somewhat. The best I could get was 62 for a record high, but it says record high every time I play—not sure if bug or joke. Don't know if there's an Easter egg for hitting 420 and don't think I'll ever find out.
Definitely plan on working on this further after the jam with these suggestions. Plan on tightening up the controls and adding in some hit zone markers on the feet and knees to make it more clear where you have to hit the sack and will see if that enhances the gameplay while still trying to keep the difficulty and fun factor. Any further feedback as it develops or in its current state is more than welcome and appreciated :)

Funny game! I like it!
Good job!
I loved the innovation and humor in this game. Making a game funny and fun at the same time is hard, but this pulls it off really well. Definitely one of the best humor games I have played.
I think the graphics are really good too! While they are somewhat quirky, the background is actually quite nice, and the UI is well done. The particle animations around the ball and text are a really nice tough too.
The music is fantastic. It really adds so much to the humor and fun of the game. It is so satisfying when the ball is hit and the nice sound plays. Nice touch.
Overall, very enjoyable game. A lot of fun to play and just to watch! Good job, and congrats for finishing the Ludum Dare!
