PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
Keep possession of the ball. Love your opponent.
A competitive local multiplayer game for two players.
Note: I've added sound; the "audio" judging category is disabled, but feel free to play with your speakers off for the full competition experience.

Cute! My SO is sadly busy so we couldn't get the two-player action in but I can see how it would be a lot of fun! Also, _thank you_ for making a game I can play in my browser instead of downloading!
Lol that's nice.
Is "love" supposed to be the unconventional weapon? :P
So damn cute. I wish I had someone to play this with. Made me miss my gf who is in America right now. We would love to play this game together. Innovative, not a lot of two-player same-keyboard games. Well done.
Love the way the worms move, would've been nice to get some AI in there so it's playable single player.
Fantastic! I had nobody to play it with but I happily mashed keyboard buttons and so much love ensued.
hahaa, great game!
This reminded us of our own warm up LD, CentiSoccer, but your game is definitely even more fun :)
Don't have anyone to play with right now, but I had a lot of fun just kicking the ball back and forth -- the worm physics are fun to play with. And those cute little hearts when you collide..! Very charming game.
Nice game, it reminds me starwhal.
We had fun, thanks!
(but after three round, worms disappear...)
Games like this make me seriously wish mechanical keyboards were less of a rarity. The 3 button at any time limitation is a real shame.
Fun concept, I do see potential for further work, but it does need that work, it feels a little unpolished.
Particles maybe? Music? I don't know what I would say the most important thing to add first to this is...
That was really cool, we had a great time playing this one :D
I am a bit puzzled by the choice of ijkl instead of the arrow keys, and I found the worms hard to properly control (that last one added to the goofyness of the situation though)
should be added to Sportfriends! loved how this game played. don't see the theme fit, but its a hell of a game none the less. great job.
I really liked this entry even though I just played against myself :)

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
I couldn't give more than 3 overall because I can't see any relation to the theme at all here.
That said, the game made me laugh like a lunatic for about 10 minutes solid, to the point where my wife came in and wanted to know what had happened - The physics in this game are HILARIOUS!
