This is a very nice and visualy responsive pong game, and how you use physics to get the player blocks to affect the speed and direction of the ball and using the space key to be able to smash ( hits the shuttlecock with great force - badminton term) it feels more like proper pingpong instead of just moving the block left and right, all in all a good game.
P.S please try my game
Very entertaining, the retro vibe with the futuristic elements works very well. What I would change, as others have already mentioned, is the slippery controls and the pink squares—either move them higher up or reduce their number, because levels 5, 7, and 8 are impossible. I got stuck on level 8 because it was practically impossible. The pink squares are just there to annoy you, and in the end, the jumping mechanic was useless. Every time I hit the ball hard, it would bounce off a pink square or the AI. I would try to level it out a bit more by making the “map” bigger vertically so that it's more level. The rest is perfect, good job.
Game is cool but it would be cool when the top part smarter is
Game is funny, but one question the 7 is final level ?
The Game is fun although sometimes i feel like im floating but the visual theme is great
Gameplay is fun, although I feeling like ice skating, but with the overall dynamic at a further levels it suits it well. The visuals are neat, the glare (or bloom) shader is peak. Also that tiny sticker with the controls on the TV. It's like not necessary thing, but this thingy gives that old school vibe.
THE COLORS ARE INSANEEE🔥🔥🔥🔥
Other than that, this game is highly engaging
Awesome game. Very striking visuals and colors while only using simple shapes is really cool, your post processing use was great. The enemy variety was nice but I didn't appreciate some of them having wildly different mechanics like much faster speed than I could use.
There were situations where they would swing wildly from either side of the screen bouncing the ball to the opposite corners and it was very difficult not to lose a ton of lives. Seeing as the main strategy to win was to keep jump bouncing the ball faster than your opponent could hope to deal with, when the AI started doing this while also being both bigger and faster wasn't the most fun.
All in all tho, a quite stunning gamejam entry and you did great!
Thank you for playing and for your feedback! I ran into a situation where I didn't feel like I had enough time to improve the AI further beyond the abilities at Level 4/5, so I had to come up with other ways to make the levels progressively harder. I admit, it could result in a bit of an "unfair" feeling. I think I was hoping it would feel more like fighting a boss than an even one-to-one match, but I could have done better with that execution. Thank you!
Really fun game. The AI getting better each level was cool. Just a small issue: the ball got stuck behind the AI at level 6. and the sound buttons were a bit out of place.
It's a great game, but does it have an ending? I only managed to reach level 11.
