How does your game fit the theme?
Balls have a countdown, there's a countdown for ball spawning, there's a countdown for health pickups spawning, there's a countdown before the game starts, there's a countdown on the intro. Lots of countdowns.

wow cool game

I like games that find a way to make an old idea feel fresh, here the strategy of angling your shots in such a way that the bomb is at 1 when it reaches your enemy really breathes new life out of something as simple as Pong. Great job!
Very classic with a twist! the controls and difficulty was quite hard ngl, but I loved the simplicity of the game
Controls very smoothly. Took a few tries to beat the AI, but that made it all the more satisfying when i actually did.
took me a while to realise that im NOT meant to pong a balll about to explode but once i got that it was pretty fun :) the name truly does tell you everything you need to know here
a perfectly titled videogame! it is both pong and with explosions, there really isn’t anything else you could do differently. if you changed anything, it either wouldn’t be pong or it wouldn’t have explosions, and then the title wouldn’t make sense.
This is just chaotic pong with explosions... Yeah, I like it!! I got into focus for this just to keep up, however I couldn't beat the red paddle. The graphics are pong, but the other paddles playing pong in the background were just a bit distracting. The Sound effects do work for this game inducing the music all being chip tune based and fitting that of the Atari 2600. Other than that, nothing much else to say, good game!
Featured in today's livestream!
Tride and true, I wish there were a hard mode that allows the game to go wild. Not enough balls. I want more balls. Good job but more balls.
Good clean old fashioned fun. Not ground breaking but a good twist on a classic.
really is pong and explosions
Cool and good
Cool way of fitting the theme and reviving the fantastic retro game "Pong"
