It's so challenging that is addictive. Nice work!

Super playable. Addictive, challenging and fun. Graphics are clean and elegant.

Amazing! Really cool take on a classic game. Easily one of the most unique and original pong spinoffs I've played. Looks great as well. Great job!

Hahah funny.
Had a similar idea some time ago.

This is a pretty fun little game. Maybe for mobile?

legiion 2014-12-09 16:53

nice use of the theme and an inovative gameplay

Very clever and challenging game! I was thinking I would win when I destroyed the core, but makes sense to be an endless game haha
The audio, the feedbacks, the graphics the and gameplay were all very polished, congratulations =)

Pretty cool entry, interesting idea/mechanic, and decent graphics/design.

I found the controls a little too responsive, making it hard to achieve any precision with my movements, which combined with the fast speed of the ball made it very difficult. Maybe some slight acceleration on the hexagon would have been good? Or maybe I just have terrible reflexes ;)

Music is nice, but very short and very quiet.

Nice and simple :) Liked the disappering bars, that added to the challenge!

Addictive

Nice concept and well polished.

Innovative idea and nice presentation. But I feel that you as a player don't have a lot of control over the ball. Mostly just trying to keep it from bouncing outside and not target the bricks in the middle. The balls missed collisions with the player sometimes. You could have increased the collision volumes logical (i.e. not graphical) thickness to make it less likely for the collision to be missed. Or slow the ball down.

Nice improvement over planar paddle! I too feel that it starts a bit fast though, it wasn't until the ball has slowed down to about half the initial speed after some hit that I was able to appreciate the ability to vary impact angle by positioning paddles appropriately.

This was difficult, but fun. Might enjoy it on a mobile device too. Nice job!

Nice, simple but clean gameplay. Perfect mobile game in the making.

ViliX 2014-12-10 21:03

As mentioned before: very addictive gameplay. Nice game :)

strandypants 2014-12-10 21:34

Simple, but elegant. And so freaking hard! Liked it a lot.

bobombe 2014-12-10 21:36

Interesting idea, but my brain must not be compatible :/

sputnik 2014-12-10 21:39

Superb reinterpretation of a classic. Good job!

sumguy67 2014-12-10 22:05

Excellent game with a really cool concept!

aare 2014-12-11 00:00

A lot harder that I initially expected. Nicelly polished and quite addictive. Great work.

aree-vanier 2014-12-11 00:10

Great game with a very interesting take on pong!

phyyl 2014-12-11 00:37

Very well done, I like it a lot! One thing I have to say: The spin is probably a bit too fast in my opinion, but it's not my game! :D

dlowe 2014-12-11 00:44

OOoooh, fun :)

Extremely challenging until I wrapped my head around it. Thanks!

arcturusdeluxe 2014-12-11 00:58

Cool game. Great twist on a breakout concept. Kind of hurt my brain a bit trying to get the hang of it. Nice job!

sundry 2014-12-11 01:21

addict powa it's a good idea :)

toadfrogs 2014-12-11 01:55

The game's really addicting. Graphics are simple yet it fits the game. Great execution with the theme too.
The ball sometimes go over the bat but regardless of that, thumbs up. :D

rayman1900 2014-12-11 02:00

Really fun, addictive and challenging ! I would really like to see that game on an ipod nano with the round wheel as controls lol

lynx 2014-12-11 02:16

Very challenging for such a simple mechanic, I would suggest maybe delaying the first paddle/wall disappearance until after at least 20 or 30 seconds so the player gets a hang of the controls and physics before you start adding the challenging part

woz2601 2014-12-11 04:09

Nice mashup. I found it very hard though, the keyboard controls make movement a bit jerky. It would be better with an analogue stick, or some other way of fine movements

shackhal 2014-12-11 21:15

Simple gameplay mechanics and controls, correct graphics and good audio. This game is a solid entry. The only annoying thing is to press "R" to restart. It would be faster to just press Space xD

Overall, I like this entry :)

kitch 2014-12-12 06:03

Now that was fun. Finally got myself a challenge :) Thanks!

skiddings 2014-12-13 01:34

Pretty addictive, although the ball glitched through the paddles a few times.

fancypants 2014-12-17 13:19

Thanks for the feedback, guys. We'll start fixing bugs and issues soon.
