Game-and-watch games! Great style and good job.

Cool game! Reminds me of the old Game-And-Watch games. I wasn't sure exactly how this fit the theme. You have to keep blocking arrows, but there's no real penalty for stopping anything. Still, I enjoyed the retro look and the simple gameplay. We better call Tiger Electronics and tell them we have their killer app!

Nice game man, at first I thought it would  be really slow but then it was great. One of the most balanced for sure!

Nice game! I like the inspiration you got from Game and Watch! The only things I feel I can suggest are:

  • Add some music please! I would of love to try and get a really big high score with music included to motivate me!
  • Edit the controls for the up and down movement. I like the idea you used the higher key as an up movement and the lower key as a down movement, but it kind of felt a bit uncomfortable for me. Might i suggest something like W to move the left paddle up and D for down and O for up for the right paddle and K for down?

Overall though, the game was nice! I hope this feedback helps you to polish the game and improve it!

Really nice retro style!

Great style, very original. In the WebGL version the framerate is all over the place it seems. Time steps have very random length.

This is really cool, I love the art style that it mimics them old crappy 'consoles' nostalgia!
