It is an interesting concept, I like that you have to explore the different options to know if they arte a good or bad addition. Also nice artwork!

The game is very easy to pick up and is very fun.

My best score was 100.

The variants really add a lot to the game. I love the fact that you're forced to choose one, so you can't just stick with the same strategy all the time.

Great job!

Developer

You must choose an upgrade, whether it is good or bad.

This is the decision I made to enhance randomness XD

Very fun game!

original game! sometimes the ball passes through the line but a score is not counted

Developer

Yes that's a bug and I've fixed it
However, it is not possible to update to the web version for the time being

Pretty fun

Nice game! I liked the idea and the different ball and racquet modes keep it entertaining :D

Fun idea !

Very fun, I could see this as a roguelike where you have additional powerups and abilities. Maybe multiple balls or size changing paddles? I do think the physics is a bit wonky with the paddle, would expect it to be more of a satisfying smack when you hit the ball with the paddle but right now it mostly slows the ball down which doesn't feel great. Overall great job for a solo game jam!!

There are indeed some issues with the physical collision, and I am planning to fix this problem.XD

Just changing the size is a bit boring; I plan to mix different rackets in future versions to create a new racket that combines the capabilities of both.

There are some great interactions in this game! I think my favorite is when I had the money racket and the horizontal moving ball, and I would just hover on the goal line right above the ball. It would cause it to hover back and forth over the goal line since it couldn't reach the racket, which was quite amusing! The black hole racket is quite powerful as well for making the ball do circles over the goal. The bounce physics were a little off though, sometimes hitting the ball with the racket would cause it to slow all the way down. I had fun with this one!

 Using different combinations of balls and rackets to score more points faster is really what I want to do, and I'm glad you like it.:D

Very addicting haha. As others have said, I would love to see more balls and rackets added! Great Job!

Developer(+1)

I am planning to add more balls or rackets, but I don't have many good ideas at the moment.

If you have any ideas about balls or rackets, please let me know. :D

Incredibly interesting take on the theme and quite fun! Good Job!

Submitted

Funny idea. The ball doesn't really bounce well, but it was still fun to mess around with. Got to 123 points

Developer

This is a very good score,

 I'm glad you like it.:D

FINALLY. a roguelike with ping pong
this is unironically addicting

Submitted(+1)

I use the blackhole and keep the ball spinning xd

Submitted(+1)

Nice, rougelike, ping pong. Love it!

Submitted

I got a 63 max score. Love the abilities, they are really cool! Found a way to farm score, use the ball that goes to center by itself and keep using it, make it go around the center as fast as you can do it. Really fun, great work! :D

Developer

ThanksXD

Submitted

Cool idea! I like that you have upgrades for both the racket and the ball, but while I get the point of having a downside to hitting the wall, I honestly think the time penalty should just be removed, and it should just be a matter of getting the highest possible score in a certain amount of time. Maybe there's some other issues with that but might be worth a shot!

Developer (1 edit)

I tried to add variation to the environment at the beginning
But I didn't have many good ideas and eventually gave up on it

Regarding Time Penalty, there should have been some related design
But in the end I only designed a ball and a racket around it

I don't have much too good diea:(

Submitted

black hole op got to 171lol 

Fast ball is really cool too, but it's a bummer that you can't use it for long cuz of the weird collision. Really would love to see this become a full game

Developer

WOW!!!

I was the first to see such a high score, even I couldn't reach it myself

Submitted

Pretty cool honestly never seen ping pong as a single player rogue like before.
