The intro was a bit confusing, and I don't really see how the players you select tie into the game. That's where my complaints end.

This is a really cool idea! I'm going to have to hold onto this and get someone to play it with me. Playing as a planet might be arguably a bit of a stretch on the theme, but it works. The little particle effects and the intense music really add to the experience. A lead guitar and more verses might have been good, but I understand time constraints.

Overall, this is a great entry.

The game has a truly interesting idea behind it and a quite funny approach for the characters. I honestly believe that if you choose to explore that game concept further you will make a very nice game)

What a great idea! Pong but you can't touch the ball! I've never seen that before!

You've managed to get a lot done here - title screen, intro, player selection and the main game itself. The music is probably one of those "you either love it or hate it" types and sadly I'm not a fan - but you can't please everyone! I do like the samples when you select your player though "Mars kicks arse!" :grinning:

Overall this is a great entry! Well done!

In case anyone wants a little preview of what the game looks like, I took the liberty of grabbing a few screenshots:

Pong with gravity, clever idea. I liked the silly intro and the battle music, too. Sadly i had noone around who could play the game with me, forever alone... :sweat_smile: Nice entry, well done!

The music is absolutely epic, love it. Theme also epic. Graphics are very cool. Great concept. I couldn't fine anyone to play with :-(

The linux version runs in macOS also :-)

So... it's like a game of Pong, except you just touch the ball and then the level starts over? I don't think I get it...

Interesting twist on Pong. Don't think you needed out of bounds (just have it bounce again), just getting hit was enough. Would be useful to have an AI though and some feedback on hitting like an explosion. Could be a lot of fun though in the future.

Didn't quite follow the intro and the player selection was a bit confusing, was I supposed to use my keyboard or the mouse? As I was hitting a key, but it didn't do anything until I clicked.

I like the idea of a gravity pong where you are not allowed to touch the ball. The winning move seems to be just building up speed and kicking the ball out of bounds, which was a little too easy. Maybe that'll be more easy to counter with some training though.

Overall, a neat idea! Keep it up :thumbsup:

PS. You really need to put up a screenshot to make players want to try your game.

hahah super creative game, I definitely enjoyed playing! Would love to play with a friend but for now , it's just me and my 2 hands ;)

Great twist on a classic game, and my only complaint would be to add some screenshots in your description to hook more people into playing. It's worth it, because it's a fun game! Good job, guys.
