This one melts my brain a little bit...In a good way!
It's such a simple concept but I've never actually seen anything like it! I can see myself coming back to this one to try and master. I wasn't able to collect any of the power-ups (I'm assuming you have to run the ball into them), so I have a lot of room for improvement!
A very unique concept with lots of potential, so props to you for that! One weird thing that I noticed was that if you hit the ball with the side of the paddle, it goes off sideways. It would be better if the ball either went in a more usable direction, or just didn't detect a collision at all in that event. It would also be cool to have mouse controls for this. Either way, nice work.
Honestly, I found this way more fun that I thought I would. Couldn't get higher than 38 because my strategy kept glitching (I'd go for the shallowest angle possible to get loads of hits in succession then it got stuck on the paddle and flew away as soon as I moved xD I played on web so may well be that. Didn't stop the fun though) really great little thing love it!
Super innovative in my opinion. Also like the way the controls where taught. I found moving and rotating with one hand a bit confusing though. Would prefer a two hands control. Other than that creative entry!
Cool concept but you have a pretty serious bug. When you start the game the ball hits you and starts moving left. If you don't rotate the paddle and just follow the ball until you collide with it, the ball's movement will now have it's X inverted and it will try moving right. the thing is, your paddle is to the right so it sticks to the paddle. You can just keep moving the paddle left and right without ever rotating it and get an infinite score!
Very innovative concept, I like it! I didn't quite get to your score of 60, though. I think this is quite a well rounded experience compared to some of the other submissions. Good Job :)
Fun concept. But I found it hard to control. Still, solid entry. GJ!
Jesus, my head! So cool to see such an established concept as pong brushed up in a minimalistic way.
Fun concept. This could be a great time killer on mobile!
It would also make a great cooperative multiplayer game! The more players, the bigger the circle will be, and the more balls will need to be kept. There could be two game modes: If a ball goes out, either all people lose or a random person will lose.
Nice game! It was confusing to control at first but I got it eventually. I like how the power ups force you to move around. A bit of music would've been nice.
There's something addicting in the concept. Very simple time killer game for mobile or for Switch entry (multiplayer deathmatch coach?! - I take 20% equity for that! :smile: ) Good job!
I like it, it's an easy concept that still takes some time to grasp.
I like it, the brick breaker but making the movement very complex. I especially loved it when I started getting pickups. Couldn't stop playing. Gave me real brick breaker vibes without the bricks. Adding some music, particle effects, and screen shake would really make the impact of each hit feel great. Overall very well done!
This game is full of surprises.
Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus) ! I had a lot of fun playing your entry. Simple, single screen game with a minimalistic look. It gets the job done for sure ! Nice touch to change the little elements you could every playthrough (the paddle changing color). Controls are tight and responsive and honestly, the game feels very fair. When you mess up, you don't get the feeling the game tricked you. Simple concept but very well executed, perfectly on theme !
Simple and great game! Even though I tried the browser version I still think it played well.
Here's my playthhrough of it: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/766604555 :D
I love the concept, minimalistic, works well, almost no bugs, interesting take on the theme, with power-ups and stuff and the fact we can move the loop left and right, the audio is very decent, you can be proud! I'd just say, uh, make a better page for your game, it really doesn't sell it like that. Also, I didn't like the controls, really hard for me to use the left / right movements so I just didn't. And I made it to 80 ! Screenshot_4.png
Really like the idea here!
Really cool idea and well put together, think I'm a bit too slow to get my head around the controls though :smile:
