ping me on twitter @keyle when you got the windows build!

I'll give it a try once there's a windows build.

This is a rather good game, i love the fact that power ups can combine, eventhought that sometimes results in really wierd plays (for example 2x speed, and negative gravitation), i loved the function bonus, in which the ball curves, please add a sinewave at post jam(if that works) the game is rather hard, but maybe thats because im not skilled enough, this would be fun as an online beat a random oponent game.

Fun game! I enjoyed the fact that you had to hit the ball perfectly so as not to bounce it back onto your side. Neat powerups. Good job!

Very interesting interpretation of Pong, a little glitchy at times (or maybe I was just not good with rebounding shots). AI is a little too good for me. I liked the minimalist graphics, but a little sound would have been nice too, just a square wave sound or something? Still, quite an accomplishment for basically starting from scratch in cpp!

You should add a two player !

@crucknuk I would have loved to put local multiplayer with splitscreen in but the time was just to short. I will definitely make a post compo version at some point, though.

When closing the game on windows, the process doesn't stop, I had to kill it in the task manager. Apart from that, looks like you're watching handmade hero !

Cool idea, nice looking game. I feel it's too easy to score on your own side. At any rate, I got my ass kicked! :)

@thebmxeur
Thanks for pointing that out, I'm going to look into it tomorrow!

mortalwombat 2015-08-25 23:35

@thebmxeur
Okay, I actually fixed it just now. Thanks again!

mortalwombat 2015-08-25 23:36

Also: yeah, handmade hero is awesome!

Nice. Same issue. Process hung around after quitting. Fun gameplay.

Okay graphics, the collision itself wasn't bad. It lagged slightly for me, but really like the idea of pong. Nice entry.

mortalwombat 2015-08-26 20:53

Okay, so for some reason the fixed windows version didn't upload correctly yesterday. The task should now terminate correctly on closing via clicking the 'X' on your window decorations.

Some weird calculations but game is really fun and nice idea
