A solid game with a nice vs AI mechanic. I like how the targets spawn from outside of the level before entering, a nice touch. Good job!

Can't go wrong with some pong! Pretty simple but effective, nice work.
Hey there! So let me be frank - it takes a while to get used to those controls! But once you do it all clicks. I think though that you might have a bug in your shoot direction code, it feels like it is more responsive to aiming towards the 0 and 180 degrees marks then it is in the center although I may be wrong. It's probably something with using sine and consine but hell if I know, it just didn't feel quite right. I did finally win though once I understood what I was doing. Nice job!
simple, elegant, well made, bang on theme :) good job! only thing that lets it down is some cool sound effects. would have been the cherry on the top
Great entry! my only criticism is that you could haven implemented the Shoot Em' Up aspect a bit better, as currently it's a little unwieldy.
You really did succeed in Combining 2 Incompatible Genres, it works well though. The pong in itself was enjoyable but additional aiming stuff was an added bonus. Sound would have enhanced the game. But it plays well.
Thanks for your feedback ! I really enjoyed developing this game ! Indeed, I didn't have the time to implement all elements I wanted : different enemies, agressive enemies, some bonus to change the bullets and ball behavior and a 2 players mode ! I also had issues with the format of the game after building it for html5, taking me the time I planned to add sound and music...
Nice game MrSchlag !
An interesting take on the theme, simple and fun. One small criticism is that it felt like the pong physics was a bit off.
I was a little unclear on the scoring - I went from a 90 point lead to a game over seemingly in one 'rally' and didn't know why... bug, or me completely misunderstanding how scoring is happening in the game?
I think you blended these together excellently, I would never have thought of this mashup :laughing: it was pretty difficult to aim the bullets but I enjoyed it nonetheless
Took a sec to understand how to shoot, but once i got the feel for the controls, I did pretty well.
