#pong #lasers #singleplayer #twoplayer
For a #devtober twitter challenge, I worked over the course of the month to create this game. Inspired by Mortal Pongbat, a Mac shareware game I fondly remember from my childhood, this is pong except you have a laser to shoot holes in the other side's paddle. Also there are bombs, crazy balls, and other power ups appearing and disappearing to make things more hectic.
You can play single player against the computer. The AI is pretty simplistic, but decent enough to be a bit challenging. Two player mode is more fun, and the ultimate way to demonstrate your superiority over other humans.
As per the guidelines of the #devtober idea, everything in this first release was created within October. I do have some more ideas for the game, but I think it's pretty good already. My kid said it's fun, and she's five, so she'd definitely know.
