Wow, very interesting concept. Kinda confusing, but cool
(is it just me or does the computer cheat?)

foolmoron 2014-08-25 05:01

Absurdly good game for 48 hours. Visuals are super juicy and clean, gameplay is unique and addictive. Even the audio and music is awesome. Surprisingly intelligent AI as well.

2014-08-25 05:08

This is really good

ruthiepee 2014-08-25 05:25

SO CRAZY GOOD. I love the trails on the space ships and all of the particles So much detail. It's a well-rounded game from start to finish. The music is so catchy and the sound effects are just perfect! Love love love the start screen. It's beautiful and modern.

uvwar 2014-08-25 05:52

Needs more dramatic-pause/squishball, Will.

Otherwise good!

mrtedders 2014-08-25 05:54

VERRY well done! I love the take on pong, far more interesting. Very polished, juiced, and well executed! well done.

somepx 2014-08-25 06:39

Oh the quality of this game, it oozes from every pore. Bravo!

0x0961h 2014-08-25 06:49

Such an awesome concept! And aesthetics gave me strong Luftrausers vibe! Great job!

bladderbloat 2014-08-25 08:48

Very well made and polished and has a true retro feeling! AND I SAW A CAT!

emak 2014-08-25 13:24

wooooow Damn, I like the design of the ship...pleeease make a console version!! 5 stars game!

tchem 2014-08-25 15:48

Awesome aesthetic and immersion possibility. Very fun,, excellent work

renatopp 2014-08-25 17:26

Ultra confusing at first, but super fun when you realize what is happening. Great great game. Good job!

It seem to have a little problem with the movements, sometimes it just don't move or move to a corner by itself.

calciumtrice 2014-08-25 18:34

Hey, this is really good. The movement, the music, the mechanics, the artwork, the bounce of the animation, all fantastic. Nice aesthetic with the colour palette too.

As others have said, very impressive for the 48 hours and great work altogether!

nicso 2014-08-25 19:12

really nice game, and a really good palette sir ;)
I'll definitly try it with friends

decept404 2014-08-25 20:48

Super cool game, and gorgeous. A little too easy to lose track of who's turn it is though ;(

grillaface 2014-08-25 21:01

Will someone please port this to arcade? So rad I could play this all night.

gfm 2014-08-25 22:40

Woooow! This game is too awesome!
I really need to get together with some friends to play this in multiplayer.
It's great that you did an AI! It's probably way funnier with friends... but it was nice being able to play right alway. Also, the AI is challenging and fun!

Congrats! =D

adamharte 2014-08-26 01:07

Very nice! Love the art style, and the animations are great. Actually, pretty much everything about is game is awesome. Nice work.

Once I figured out I was competing AGAINST the AI, then everything made a lot more sense.

canyon 2014-08-26 04:37

It's great, one request. Auto fire.

thegamefather 2014-08-26 07:23

Classic art style! Creative gameplay! Love it!

concalf 2014-08-26 08:40

Took me some time to understand what is going on but it is really really good!

catonmars 2014-08-26 10:23

Well done! It's a simple and fun pong-like shooter. The pixel arts are really nice, esp. the special effects. I also like the title design.

The game mechanics works good and fits to the theme. At first I suppose those "missile spwaner" are power-ups and I try to eat them but failed. Maybe you could add more kinds of power-up items that make this game more intense. Overall I really enjoyed this. Thank you for making a good game!

xaychru04 2014-08-26 11:40

The gameplay was a bit confusing at first, but turned quite fun when I got it! Awesome graphics too, the game felt really dyncamic! :D

suppi 2014-08-26 15:50

superb game! really fun :)

lekochen 2014-08-26 16:45

Brilliant idea! Simply awesome!

pinkmonkeyhead 2014-08-26 18:44

Awesome!! When I first looked at the pics I wasnt expecting it at all. Very innovative

perpetualraine 2014-08-26 19:42

Excellent game for 48 hours! Is "redshift" and "blueshift" an oblique reference to the doppler effect on light? 'Cause I love me some oblique references.

adventureislands 2014-08-26 20:28

Now this is my kind of Pong! Superb graphics, gameplay and great audio. Very nice work!

nicepenguins 2014-08-26 21:07

Awesome idea ! Very well made for 48h, good job :)

ruerob 2014-08-27 01:28

Thank you for that great game. It is really fun to play, fun to look and fun to hear. Great job. Thank you.

incredible-ape 2014-08-27 03:06

Took a little while to figure out what was going on but once it clicked I had a lot of fun. The colors and graphics are just plain cool and the music is good too.

aeveis 2014-08-27 05:17

Very polished! Took a while to get but was pretty fun once I got going. Effects and the pixel art are very nice.

mklee 2014-08-27 05:20

It takes a second to get the idea of multiplayer shmup Breakout, but this game really sells it. Super-crunchy feel, good graphics and audio, and overall a high high level of polish.

leafthief 2014-08-27 05:21

A very very solid entry. I like what you did here and enjoyed playing it.

petegrammarman 2014-08-27 05:31

Holy jeez was that good. Really polished and pretty and even had awesome music. Really good work! Just needs to convey what the objective is upfront and it is good to go.

hyoga-3d 2014-08-27 12:21

Really nice game, a mix of breakout, pong and spaceship games, very nice.

stvr 2014-08-27 13:59

Lots of fun! Love the art and the palette.

papygaragos 2014-08-27 18:12

bookmarked so I can pull that one when I have a friend at home.

It could use a tuto or instruction screen though

rocketship 2014-08-27 19:11

Very very nice retro shooter. The visuals are unbelievable and the gameplay is super slick and polished.

honcho 2014-08-27 19:47

Overall Excellent entry! Really enjoyed this! I have bookmarked the page for inspiration :D

jimmypaulin 2014-08-27 20:21

Excellent work I really enjoyed this! Love the music and sfx, really juicy gameplay and I can imagine how playing against another person would be hilarious with the rocket spam haha :D Wasn't completely clear how far ahead the goal was or who was winning, but I really enjoyed the way the gameplay switched between the two hitherto unrelated styles

keymaster 2014-08-27 21:07

Really great acrady game! Great visuals and audio. Pretty difficult gameplay, especially with the rockets, but still fun!

juakob 2014-08-27 22:06

Wow, grate effects, super professional!. This could be an excellent Ouya game. Congratulations!

zabuza 2014-08-28 00:29

Amazing, love the graphics, 2 player is awesome, great job altogeth, this is my favorite entry so far.

lokiman 2014-08-28 00:32

Great graphics, great music and great game overall! :D

To bad that controls seem a little bit tricky (key input is somehow lagging ) :(

marekkpie 2014-08-28 01:17

Nice blend of two different genres. It can be a bit difficult to catch up to the ball sometimes.

partiallyexciting 2014-08-28 01:43

Other than a kind of weak use of the theme, this is quite literally the best thing ever. One of the most innovative ideas I've seen in a LD in a while.

ragepaint 2014-08-28 01:43

Really beautiful game. Loved all the graphics. So clean and nice design. Love the name too

emotiontheory 2014-08-28 01:50

Crazy. Loved it!

iamspencer 2014-08-28 02:14

Holy flying [email protected], this was awesome. Graphics are brilliant, sound is crisp and nice, it's super fun once you get some friends to play, then it get crazy and competitive, Awesome Job! :)

superpokeunicorn 2014-08-28 02:30

Amazing original concept and brilliant execution.

leafo 2014-08-28 04:21

awesome game, great graphics and I love the music. Great job all around!

guimonpa 2014-08-28 06:38

Love the graphics, animations and music! Feels really good to play, can't wait to try this with a friend!

atta 2014-08-28 06:52

Amazing stuff! Great music and addictive gameplay!

dylanigan 2014-08-28 15:03

A little confusing at some points but once you get the hang of it it's a great game!

esayitch 2014-08-28 15:49

Awesome aesthetics and highly innovative gameplay. I liked it a lot! Theme could have featured more prominently I think, but great great great :)

McFunkypants 2014-08-29 00:23

Totally amazing. Love the intro credit screens, love the game machanic, love the graphics. Seriously, keep polishing this and SELL IT.

pansapiens 2014-08-29 03:31

I found this pretty tough in one player mode, but it feels like it would be a blast with two players. Great clean pixel art, good visual feedback and awesome chiptunage. Great job !

binarypie 2014-08-29 12:37

Very fun. Nice combo on pong/shmup games.

frr171 2014-08-29 20:30

Really polished, with awesome controls! One of the funnest I've played so far!

local-minimum 2014-08-29 20:39

Great idea for cross-over between to classic games. I had very little chance against the computer AI but that's really more cred to you for programming a good one. It feels like a great foundation to build a full game on.

wdebowicz 2014-08-30 00:51

Great idea To connect 2 types of games! Please evolve it to something big.

wdebowicz 2014-08-30 00:54

Btw. Make it also coop :-)

stevesalmond 2014-08-30 06:41

Suuper styley :D Will have to recruit one of my work buddies to try out 2-player mode!

roguenoodle 2014-08-30 12:38

Wow - there's still room for new ideas in Pong, apparently ;) Amazing entry - super juicy, polish is crazy. Nice job!

retl 2014-08-30 19:34

I've never really seen a variation on the breakout/pong style game like this before. Pretty cool stuff. Played to Red Victory on single player on a Windows 7 Machine in Google Chrome. Worked great. Loved the soundtrack, too. Catchy tune!

damrem 2014-08-30 20:03

Simple, therefore excellent multiplayer concept! A lot of potential, keep on the good work!

_rilem 2014-08-30 21:21

Cool art style and lovely idea for this theme :D
I'm impressed that you managed to deliver on all aspects of the game in just 48 hours. Great music, art and gameplay!

runvs 2014-08-31 08:40

Wow, Awesome graphics! This really rocks! The combination of Pong and an arcade shooter works very well.

mrexcessive 2014-08-31 10:13

Hi there. Love the graphics and sound, explosions particularly. Found it a bit confusing in single-player. Good job!

jjhaggar 2014-08-31 11:10

Amazing, I love this game, wish I could download a Windows executable to play offline with my friends ^^

derosa 2014-08-31 12:10

I was confused at first, but I finally got the game mechanics. Interesting concept, really smooth and well executed. Thanks!

tomvert 2014-08-31 12:38

Awesome execution, cool fx and animation.

artamus 2014-08-31 13:55

Nice game, congrats!

alpha_rat 2014-08-31 14:36

Grat idea! The graphics and audio are awesome

dohan 2014-08-31 14:38

Great mix of shmup and pong! Also, I realy like how fast-paced it is, but the AI is merciless!

sunflower 2014-08-31 16:15

Very solid entry, and somewhat entertaining once I got the hang of it. Bonus points for audio - if I say it reminds me of (early) Touhou, you're doing that right. ;)

Didn't have an opportunity to play it with two players... although I'm not quite feeling like doing that, anyway. ^^"

pierrec 2014-08-31 19:18

This is really impressive. I'm really frustrated though because I only have ONE Xbox controller, and didn't manage to play 2 players with keyboard+controller...and the one player mode is really hard. Congrats!

jukimv1986 2014-09-01 01:34

Very polished game, stunning work for 48 hours! A nice revisit to the pong type of games. Well done!

radmars 2014-09-01 04:49

Holy crap this is absolutely amazing. It took me a bit to get the hang of the gameplay but once I was into it it was so much fun. I kinda wish there was some way to steal powerups from the other player but I have no idea if that could possibly be balanced, haha :P Amazing job on the graphics & music too, I love the 16-bit style & FM sound. One of the best LD entries I've ever seen - excellent work.

beardaneerz 2014-09-01 08:51

One the best game of this LD

dickpoelen 2014-09-01 14:40

That was awesome!

phocker 2014-09-01 15:46

I felt this is one of the best games. It has everything. Well done.

po8rewq 2014-09-01 20:30

I love the gameplay !! great job !

spotco 2014-09-01 22:23

Really great breakout/shmup combination, had a good "gamefeel" with all the screenshake/freeze frame etc.
Could have used more mechanics that directly impacted the enemy player.

commodorekid 2014-09-01 22:29

Wow this is quite impressive. Single player option is awesome to have. Everything looks and functions properly. I think there was a little bit of lag on my browser though.

hypnohustla 2014-09-03 07:38

Really good game design. Great music and visuals. Love it :)

flannelvindicate 2014-09-03 17:05

malf 2014-09-04 09:04

Very good game , I got a bit confussed and dizzy , but it was fun nonetheless

patacorow 2014-09-04 11:35

Very confusing to grasp, and the blue AI is a bit too difficult - but overall a very enjoyable entry once you get the idea.

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-05 20:57

Really nice version of pong! I included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/bMx3RCVCht0

moosefly 2014-09-12 19:43

Even though I had no one to play with, the AI proved to be quite capable. Really nice game, it pushes all the right buttons. That juicyness makes the gameplay feel sooooo good.

martim00 2014-09-12 22:58

Great game! I really liked the retro art and music. Also used haxe flixel!

lokarunith 2014-09-16 19:47

Very cool game. I'll have to play this with a friend
