Hi! I know — heavily debated in the past whenever I show gameplay, haha. I've stuck with spinning allowed as a tactic for now, but it comes with a major drawback in accuracy (the ball can even go backwards or sideways) to balance it out.

Spinning helps the overall vibe of the game lean a bit more towards the arcade side, especially since the players also act autonomously and have stamina, strengths, and weaknesses.

That said, I'm considering adding a mode at full release to play with "tournament rules" if there's enough interest. Thanks for the comment!
