Love the concept! The bird often got stuck in the bottom, though.

Thanks for the review! We noticed the top & bottom wall issues (and the fact that we forgot to put in a exit button), no time to put in a fix today or tomorrow. :-/

Great use of the theme! Taking away the precise movement of pong made it so much more interesting. Good job!

The sound effects are truly amazing :D

Wow, that was a really refreshing game. Perfectly fits the theme, the execution is simple but solid, and I've really enjoyed the "mouth" sound design :D.

You could make some different level with a variation of the concept: taking a game mechanics of another game and translate it to a control for pong (for example: a variation around Space Invaders could ask the player to shoot the racket, etc.). There is definitely room for an interesting exercise here :).

Nice idea, having the paddles with "Flappy Bird control" :) I feel like the ball/bird would sometimes move too slow, and it would get stuck moving only at the bottom of the screen. Anyway, good job :)

i like concept and the sound effect is just amazing ^^. but sometimes the bird passed through the players when they moove.

Nice idea but sometimes bird moving too slow and you cant give it more speed.

Simple but fun. One can't play this for a long time, but it can entertain you for a few minutes. It can also get a bit annoying when you lose to that stupid bird, haha. Just like that Flappy Bastard.

Nice concept and solid execution. Good job with this first entry!

Good concept and good execution. I think it would be nice if the bird sped up after a while -- some of the points dragged on a bit. If you had two really good players, they could go on forever :smile:

The sound effects made me chuckle, I admit. It's simple but an interesting take on classic Pong. Quite entertaining.
