the sfx are good, the game controls well, maybe you can make the colors change randomly instead of controlling them

It's pong. With a patronizing fail screen and funky physics when balls hit each other.

I really like the concept , nice gameplay , welldone

Very stressful twist on a classic! My only real feedback is that it maybe the pong paddle can only switch between the colours of the balls on screen, just so it's easier to switch when there are only two or 3. Nice game!

TBH not sure what the core twist adds. Like, the pong functions well enough, nicely polished and all, but I just played it like regular pong and won without worrying about the colour switching.

this is better than real pong!! you did a great job :D

Nice spin on pong! A bit annoying when balls collide with each other and you don't really get a chance to catch it. Good job! :D

This is a great take on pong! Could definitely use a multiplayer though, the AI opponent started to feel unfair to play against when there were a ton of balls on the screen.

An interesting twist on an old classic. I agree with other comments that hotkeys or perhaps less colors would incentivize swapping more. I felt my attention was concentrated more on staying alive than swapping.

Super fun! Well done!

Nice take on Pong. It is really fun because it gets super chaotic. Maybe mapping one key to each color would help in the gameplay.

Developer

Thanks for playing it!

Cool take on Pong. It was fun to launch the balls really fast, but gets quickly chaotic with too many on screen. A color indicator to show the swap order could be helpful too. Great Job!

Thanks for the feedback!

The game makes sense, but maybe there should be "quick swap" hotkeys into specific colors for greater control.

Developer

Great feedback, thanks for checking it out!

Very fun idea of multi-ball pong, though it becomes frustrating when there are dozens of balls on screen.
