Quite impressive. I've only played the "Free Play" and "Challenge" modes so far (and I got whooped pretty badly in the Challenge Mode

). The music is really quite cool, as are the different stages. The coolest part has to be all of the acrobatics your character can pull off. The only gripe I have is that I can't change the characters name (or perhaps I can, and just overlooked it). Well, another gripe is that the gameplay is very addictive, and I might end up playing it a bit too much

. Fantastic job!

Thanks ontheheap. I'll take the name change thing into consideration for future updates. Currently the only way to customize a character is to add one with the editor. You might also try making your own footbag and increasing the bouncy attribute for a real challenge.

Cool game, reminds me of good old California Games :). Took a bit to get used to the controls and all, but it looks great, I like the music too :) Nice work!

finally something to play hacky sack in the winter. I have my examinations now and there was no time to play recently. I feel like going out and hack a bit :)
one time i also thought about doing a hacky sack game but i lack the skill. great job :) thanks

EDIT: too bad that i suck at your game even more than in real life hacky sacking ;)

EDIT2: if i do fullscreen i can't click directly on the menu points. i have to click a bit to the right. my normal res is 1600x1200 (dunno if this causes it).

I imagine there must be some easy fix - I just lack the hardware to test it. Thanks.

Very impressive game, albeit somewhat difficult for me.

I love the graphics, especially the backgrounds. How did you create them?

thats quite cool :) great job !
but this is kinda difficult... to the point where it might get frustrating.. maybe you could increase the size of the collision areas so it doest need to be dead on

i bet its cool to see you play this game as you might be a master at doing moves and acrobatics :)
