I love these weird spins on old games! It plays just like and also not at all like the original Pong. I like the touch of rotating the paddles.
It's a little glitchy, though--two balls got stuck circling one another, and I needed to restart. I was also able to ram the paddle into the middle of a big group and rack up a ton of points (it was real fun, but I'm not sure if it was intentional). I think it might also be cool if the connections were a bit more apparent/visible. Plus, I think a 2-player mode would be great!
Nice game! simple concept, fun game, simple art yet quite clean.
got a score of like 376, felt like i was pretty safe until the majority passed through and it was like a force attracting the rest of the others. Not sure if intended but it felt like you could abuse the force by splitting the balls mass in the middle and cashing in points with one paddle. xD
Got stuck in a lack of action loop too...
I loved the trails behind the balls along with the number and color change of the background to help keep track of your score.
Loved the concept! Very original. Sound effects can get a little annoying but it is a great game nonetheless
Love the minimalistic style! Also great idea for the theme!

Cool simple game though !
loved the presentation/tutorial part. Didn't really understand how the physics work once the balls are multiplied, but still quite a fun game
Insanely chaotic! A fresh take on the classic game, with simplistic art and responsive audio.
Quite simple but very fun. Good job!
This is a very simple concept but makes for some really fun gameplay (the best kind of Game Jam game). I got a high score of 5126 btw, I found that trapping balls on either side of a paddle is a great way to rocket your score
Just Updated the Current Highscore in the Description! Thankyou for playing and commenting!
love the simplicity, the pong balls got stuck on the ground for me and "lack of action detected' appeared a couple times before i just reset. great idea and game tho!

Cool game! The visuals are simple but they work really well
Interesting concept. Simple visuals are surprisingly satisfying!
Really fun game! I enjoyed it a lot!!! Good luck!
Really fun take on pong! Super satisfying to play especially when you start getting absurd amounts of balls on the screen.
Typical pong, but with an extremely satisfying touch as the ball starts to duplicate and move around in groups. Once there are so many of them, I can just move up and down and hit left right constantly to up my score very fast (intentional exploit maybe). Overall, simple but nice game!
Yup, decided to leave that in! Thankyou for playing and commenting!
Love the concept. And the aesthethics are wonderful! How the paddle 'merges' with the walls or the trail the balls make ... lovely!
The gameplay is nice, but like mentioned before, the balls have some unpredictable behavior. When I just shoot them back straight, they will sometimes twirl upwards to the ceiling and I have to wait until they slowly get back to my paddles.
But overall great submision! So simple, but also so nice!
Thankyou so much for playing and commenting! The effect that I used was a XBRz Pixel Filtering effect, so if you are interested there you go :)
