Pretty creative idea where your own bullets become also your enemy. I like how it's take of a classic genre. The only nitpick I have is that it is quite hard at first to realize what is going on. Also the sound effects get quite annoying because you cannot control how often it plays.

But overall, nice idea and creative game!

Nice little game... I agree that some background music will help it out. Good job.

How to Play page was the first thing that impressed me, I never have willpower to do it right. The only problem is I couldn't go back to the menu so I had to refresh, perhaps because bottom of player was cut off (I played it on gamejolt)? Also each death demanded browser refresh. The game itself is cool, you truly combined two games into something third by having enemy pad reflect bullets. Graphics is decent but personally I'd prefer more colors, tho I realize it is a style choice. Good job for such a short time.

@kr4ft3r Oh... um, I should probably mention that the game will take you to another screen once all of the bullets leave the screen. You stay there after death because the game wants to let all of the bullets go through to calculate your final score.

Its supposed to take you to a highscore page. Highscores were working until I made it HTML5... I didn't feel like fixing it so it doesn't save your score but the highscore screen is still there.

Nice little idea and pretty well implemented. It did begin to feel more like you were supposed to dodge bullets rather than play pong. In fact, it felt as if I had no control over the paddles and that I had to get lucky to score.

The tutorial was cool. It nice's to see explanation, examples, and practice it yourself to learn how to play.
