GREAT Graphics, but you already knew that. The game is a little short, I would like MORE... Could be cool with collections, different maps, red blocks that move. very solid though. Music is on point too.

bathpirate 2018-04-23 21:07

@brandann Thnx a lot!

el-pepi 2018-04-23 21:16

Impressive graphics!!! feels super solid y polished.

james-dunlap 2018-04-23 21:17

I loved the graphics style and the glitches that you added to the video. The audio was also great. Like @brandann I wanted more. Perhaps also randomize the start of the ball as it seems very deterministic since it always starts in the same direction.

Great Idea & Combo, waiting for loot boxes and skins for player :)

andrey-voznuyk 2018-04-24 21:09

Cool graphics and effects! :)

Love the retro-TV aspect. The use of the theme is original, I like it! :smiley: Good work!

fiote 2018-04-25 11:31

I liked the music and the gameplay looks simple but solid. Could be expanded easily with moving obstacles. Some power ups could also appear from time to time to allow you to destroy some blocks (thus reaching higher times). Saw you game on langotriel stream btw!

mercurybd 2018-04-25 11:36

Great game, i really like the effects and theme. Keep up the good work.

meskaline 2018-04-25 11:36

Nice game, and great concept. I don't understand exactly the 2 genres you combined, other than that is great execution and cool audio and graphics. I like the simple aspect of the game. I did a pong related game too. :D

langotriel 2018-04-25 11:37

Near perfect audio-visual experience. Solid execution.

giovannibarrottu 2018-04-25 11:38

Really awesome aesthetic with the post shader and music, the gameplay is simple but fun, like a simple flash game or a mobile game.

I don't really see what the theme mixing is, seems a little weak in that respect.

Again, the graphics and audio are really impressive, they all work together really well, those cymbals just need to be turned down in the mix.

I don't see why you haven't opted out of humour, it doesn't seem to be trying to be funny at all.

Fantastic game and great genre combination. Will definitely play more after Jam is over :D

bathpirate 2018-04-25 13:22

@mintarcade Best words! Thx!

outbreak 2018-04-25 19:34

Awesome game! Had fun playing. Audio and Graphics were awesome. Great entry.

bathpirate 2018-04-25 19:36

@outbreak 😀

schizoid2k 2018-04-26 01:06

Simplicity at its finest. I love the retro graphics look and feel. Great audio as well. I enjoyed playing may games... you just want to keep playing. Good job!

ismael-rodriguez 2018-04-26 02:23

Nice little addicting game here. Simple to learn and play, hard to master. My nitpick is ; I wish I could change direction with a mouse click. This would work great as a mobile game!

bathpirate 2018-04-26 14:20

@ismael-rodriguez Thanks! Yea! It's was my main task to make good polish prototype of mobile game

lotus 2018-05-03 14:48

This game is amazing! It has wonderful art! The simple mechanism is addictive!

bendmorris 2018-05-03 15:52

This was fun! Simple concept with surprising complexity. Great job on the retro graphics as well.

unfinished 2018-05-03 16:17

A lot of fun to play and really polished. Would be great if you could publish the source code. I'm especially interested in the shaders you used :).

jin9310 2018-05-03 16:18

Terrific, really love this one. That Retro vibe along with the music creates perfect duo to your zig-zag-ping-pong. What is the high score so far? :) Great job!

tulipekoni 2018-05-03 17:14

oh wow, very solid entry! as everyone has said I also could see this becoming a mobile game. Everything felt really polished, simple controls, great concept. I would love to know a bit more on how you managed to create that screen like feel :D, maybe a blog post or something?

Anyways, really exited to get this on mobile! Good luck :)

rombus 2018-05-03 23:24

Love the game, really fun to play! One downside is that it doesn't fit on my screen :P other than that had a lot of fun playing it!

jonathan-lorenz 2018-05-08 11:50

So simple and effective! You have a good game on your hands. Graphics were on point and music was awesome! Good work!

jk5000 2018-05-08 12:18

This overall a very well made LD game, and both the music and the graphics was really good. For me was the gameplay good, but it was also a bit too simple, and I would like more to do.

littlestone-games 2018-05-08 12:25

Hey good work!I really like the mechanics!And the retro effect is pretty good.The sound Fx are also very good!Good entry here!Good job for 72h :)

mrerdalural 2018-05-08 13:02

Simple yet so much fun! Good job I have enjoyed playing this!

larzan 2018-05-09 09:44

Great music + gfx, nice work on the filters there. Can't really see the theme applied, but it was fun to play, simple mechanics, well implemented :)

derlassehenrich 2018-05-11 13:29

Great game! I love the details of the graphics.

jima 2018-05-11 13:44

Really neat game, simple but addictive! And I also liked your visual style.

P.S. I can't stop. I got to 1:12 and I will probably play it for another hour...

erunno 2018-05-11 13:49

Cute game :)

0nironauta 2018-05-11 14:08

This game is simple enough to keep you playing for a while without complicating your life. I really appreciate this kind of games, with simple aesthetics and simple mechanics. I think they are the best for a jam. Also, I see it on mobile perfectly. You have my votes. Congratulations.

corbak 2018-05-11 15:55

Great little game :) sad that there is no random block appearance for more variations, but still had a great time :)

yetman 2018-05-12 13:22

I love how the graphics is originally simple but the effects makes it look so great and unique. The music is so nice and fitting. The game mechanics is very simple but so fun to play. I think some expansion in the game mechanics would be nice (some suggestions: moving blocks, white blocks, speed up/down pickups, pickups for level rotation where the blocks stay the same but the wall and ball directions rotate 90 degrees, may be holes in the walls to other rooms). Still the game is great as it currently is. Great job.

bathpirate 2018-05-12 20:25

@yetman thanks a lot! Good idea! I’ll think about it, really!
