A very simple game, but I liked the Game and Watch style of the unlit sprites. It definitely fits the theme!

A Game and Watch game! :D
My only complaint is that the Power button doesn't work. :P

Thanks, guys. I was initially going to put in a working power, Start, and Sound button, but I didn't in the end. Maybe I'll add that in a later version or something :D

Very simple neat game, but the score gets negative.

jeepracer98 2014-12-10 07:45

Oh yeah, I meant it to do that. Now that I think about it, a normal game wouldn't do that. I just made the score either add one or subtract one, depending on if you hit it or not, so that's where that came from. Thanks for checking it out.

Very minimalistic, simple controls, and I like how I got negative score ;)

Very simple, but it has that ye-olde-handheld feel of a fun game that you could spend a couple of hours on. I enjoyed it :)

Not sure why it was compiled with Java 8, earlier versions are much more likely to exist on our computers and unless this game makes heavy use of lambda expressions or other new features it should be easy enough to compile it in 7 or even 6.

Also not sure why you didn't opt out of the Humor category, this doesn't strike me as a funny game in any way.

Very nostalgic, make me want to go get a happy meal...lol. I liked it, nicely done :)

@Cake&Code Haha, yeah Java 8 is all I had, but I gotta recompile sometime because it runs on 7 and 6 fine when recompiled. I removed the humour category now, I missed that.
@CodeNMore For some reason I made it so that when you hit the ball successfully, it adds one point, and if you don't hit the ball it removes a point. If you end up missing more than you hit, the score will end up negative.
Thanks for checking out my game guys. :D
