It goes on like that for some time

Eddie throws a snowball at the snowman again. So does Ben. It goes on like that for some time, until Eddie suddenly throws a snowball at Ben, who dodges and throws a snowball back, but misses.


Is the emboldened sentence natural here to mean they keep throwing snowballs at the snowman? Is "that" correct or would "this" be better?

Also, would you keep the comma after "some time"?
