Pretty fun spin on pong. Having the bomb ball go super slow to my side and then blowing up not as fun, but at least you can do it to the other guy!

Cool idea. I beat 2/2. I like that it has the multiplayer mode as well. I don't see a lot of multiplayer games in the jams.
The "hot potato" bomb is a fun twist on an old classic. Would love to have the ability to do a quick push with the paddle too, so you could better try to time sending it back.Lovely colour palette you chose, the UI looks clean and the game plays well. Simple concept executed very well.
A fun twist to the original pong! I think it would be more interesting to add a way to deflect the bomb faster, like a skill check or smth, to add more skill so even if you are pretty sure it will explode on your side, you can comeback. Nevertheless, it is very fun and polished!
Thanks so much! I definitely think you should be able to like, maybe "hold" the assists to use at a later time, to give the player a bit more agency. Thanks for the feedback!
This game is amazing! A huge improvement on the typical pong-like. Being able to control the speed at which you hit the ball adds so much more strategy to the game. Of course I'm terrible at it, but still. I wish the power-ups were more direct (i.e. maybe the ability to hold the ball for up to 0.5 seconds or a dash). That would add a lot more strategy on when to use them.
Thanks so much, and for the feedback!
One of the thoughts that I currently have to improve it that I didn't get time to try/do before the deadline, maybe it might be better if once you grab the assist, you have the choice of when to use it. This would probably improve the dynamic. it might give you more agency and make it feel a bit less like luck. Will update it after the jam :)
Well I certainly got wrecked. Great idea! I love the bomb dude and style in general. We did "pong with a twist" as preparation for this jam and love seeing another variation here. Well done and good luck :)
yay thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I did basically steal the idea from smash court tennis so I cannot take full credit :D
So cool! Such a unique idea and really adictive
