CPU's AI needs higher difficulties, it was too easy (Especially with a high mouse DPI)

Thanks, I'll definitely add some higher difficulty post-mortem. I'll have some links to newer things when they get released, so stay tuned!

Will do!

A nice Pong :)

I like the idea of the power up in a pong game :)

gandalf1209 2014-12-08 22:20

Thanks dave and qleonetti!

Simple game, but love the power up ideas. I Included it in part 1 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/v6qOf-i7cO4

Cool game, like the colors!

gandalf1209 2014-12-11 02:45

Thanks CodeNMore! The background color was actually viewer suggested, and the other colors were made to go well together.

Nice pong. Congrats for coding a game :)

gandalf1209 2014-12-12 01:41

Thanks sloth!

nice power-ups and especially the slow-mo

gandalf1209 2014-12-15 16:21

Thanks fil00dl!

Good idea, makes the whole pong concept much more interesting. I'd like if the powerups were moving though, maybe just vertically to make the whole game a little more dynamic. Also the visuals could be improved obviously, a more interesting background or slightly better sprites - but then again, the game is fun and that's what counts right? :)

gandalf1209 2014-12-21 03:31

Hey, thanks Shellfish. I will still willingly improve this game. I like the idea of moving powerups. I'm not too good with art, but I could try to make better sprites, and probably a better background.
