I like the pillow idea. Maybe large bags/beanbags with hard-to-break fabric/netting? Or balloons! Decrease points if you break them!

The moving platforms and "pillows" were in the 1999 game. The moving platforms were called
pucks and also had poles on the side that teams got extra bonus points for cantilevering on (hanging off of) and pillows were called
floppies these were bags made of fabric that were filled with packing peanuts and had velcro attached in the middle and on the perimeter I think.
And yes it did make for an interesting game.
