Sorry,dude, but it wants directx 8. I have 11th one :(

Same With me! Unable to play.

tower07 2013-08-25 19:49

Oh geez. I'm working on a fix now!

tower07 2013-08-25 19:54

I think I've fixed it! Putting it in a launcher format seemed to take care of the problem.

Sry I'm not an installer kind of guy.

namrog84 2013-08-26 04:11

dx8 doesn't work for me.
I dislike having installers, though I installed anyways


hahah amusing!
that was very unexpected and quite awesome.

tower07 2013-08-26 14:36

Thank you for dealing with the installer! :D

loerden 2013-08-26 14:39

Works, its interesting!

umu 2013-08-26 14:56

What are you doing that you need DirectX8? Isn't that 10 years old at this point?

Anyway, That's pretty funny. It's not polished, but the core concept of "random interruption of gameplay which puts player out of position" has promise.

Is it possible to actually beat the computer? The actual pong part seems not so great, since the ball's Velocity is not affected by the player's approach. You can't fake out the computer in any way.

Hahahahaha! This definitely gets 5 stars for humor!

bisk8s 2013-08-26 18:03

An instaler? Directx8? Why?

But ok, anyway I had installed it and its very funny! Its worths the installation.
Take care of my 4 stars, next time, no instaler, ok?

I have no idea why this is so great. But it is! BEAR TIME!

Only trouble is that, after bear time, the pong game is pretty much totally broken. The other paddle stops moving, maybe the ball stops moving -- pretty much doesn't work anymore. But I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard at a game.

Okay, so disclaimer, I've had kind of a lot of wine right now, but this is the best thing ever. Is that Wagner? Obviously needs some polish but I am laughing like crazy right now.

WHAT

WHAT IS THIS

ITS AMAZING

adamharte 2013-09-03 03:36

Haha, man I am glad I installed and played this game :D

Sorry for pointing this out, but using graphics from Internet (the bear picture) is not allowed under COMPO rules - so this entry should be in fact submitted as jam. (read: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/04/16/a-quick-reminder-read-the-rules/ ).
Remember to read the rules carefully next time ;)

mandraw 2013-09-13 15:04

when i installed this game i tought : this will be the first time i will uninstall a game after playing only one time...

FALSE !

I will keep this gamle on my pc and show it to all of my friends : this game is amazing !( I will actually not talk to them about the bear XD)

tower07 2013-09-17 01:56

@michail I see now. I won't do that next time. However, the game served it's purpose, so I don't really care that it won't be judged in the compo. (As long as I don't have to take it down, that is.)
