Nice entry!
The sound effects were really nice for getting the timing down for multiple balls, and it was neat that more challenges kept getting added as you went.
It would be nice if the paddle was semitransparent --- it sometimes felt pretty bad that you had to track the path of the ball while obscuring it with the paddle (or hold off until the last moment, then cover it, but I was bad at judging when that was).
Fun framing device with the selective breeding of ping-pong super-clones.
I liked it a lot!
I had a lot of trouble trying to line up the ball with the paddle but maybe that's just part of the challenge haha. It was fun to slowly get better at predicting whether my paddle was going to cover where the ball was going based on the limited trajectory information. I love how the difficulty escalates as you play. Gonna keep playing to see if i can see some of the later challenges!
I love the insane 3d pong ( playing alone with the table folded is a nice touch ahaha ) , but the cut sequences were maybe too long ( after the first go ) . Once you've seen the readout, it'd be cool to just jump right back into the pong.
If it helped to keep the theme, have a clone body counter or something at the side ( to still show the failures stacking up haha )
Nice combination of a fun 3D pong game with some humor and a high-score board. Couldn't get past 52 points. Can't imagine getting over 200. Well done.
Really liked this entry, I had a lot of fun. Apparently, couldn't get past the score of 54. Combination of 2D and 3D graphics was also nice. Great job. :clap:
