Good idea to invert the game of Pong - Gnop is so much more fun! But it is also very hard. Maybe the difficulty level is ramping up too fast?

Developer

Thanks for your feedback ! It's true, we didn't have more time left to polish the bat behavior. :D

Enjoyable entry! I've played some pong versions in other jams but none with the twist of controlling the ball. Loved the music too, is so catchy. Personal record is 40!

Developer

Thanks ! Yeah I saw them, even a lot of them with the same name... but good to know our idea was fresh.

And good high score !

Simple but a new take on the classic pong game! :O

I really liked the audio y'all got going on, haha.

Great submission!

Developer

Thanks a lot ! I'll let the team know.

Nice game! Probably would attract more people if you added at least a cover image (Jams rules should still allow that).

Not being able to press buttons does add unneeded confusion. You should add to description that this game does not use mouse at all. Manu page hase enough free space to add text saying "Use arrow keys".

Developer

Thanks ! And good ideas for this or future projects. :)

Hey! I'm not sure if the web version is working properly. Unable to start the game.

Developer

Hey,

 I just tested on my laptop (PopOs with Firefox) and a friends macbook (MacOs with Safari) and on both machines the game runs.

However on my machine I noted some delay with the sounds, they are played with 1-2 seconds offset. This is probably due to my older laptop and / or OS and / or browser.

Which OS and browser are you using?

Submitted

I am using MacOS with Chrome. I can try it out on MacOS Safari as well.

The game is stuck on the main menu and not responding to when I click on Start. 

Developer

Oh, mouse is disabled for the game, only the arrow keys, enter and space work. This might be it.

Oh my bad! Im glad I got to play the game.

This is a really interesting take on the theme, and I really like it. If you described the idea to me verbally, I would not have imagined the game to be as challenging/fun as it was. Great work on executing it perfectly :D 

Developer

I'm glad you finally got to try it out !

And happy you enjoyed it, thanks a lot :)

Super fun! Love the addition of slow mode, and love the music/sound effects.

Developer

Thanks a lot ! :D
