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
I loved the trails behind the balls along with the number and color change of the background to help keep track of your score.
Got stuck in a lack of action loop ^^
Cool simple game though !
Insanely chaotic! A fresh take on the classic game, with simplistic art and responsive audio.
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
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!

Interesting concept. Simple visuals are surprisingly satisfying!
Really fun take on pong! Super satisfying to play especially when you start getting absurd amounts of balls on the screen.
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!
