Nice twist on the known classic even though impossible to win.
Nice job for “a couple of hours”, but I’d like some music, SFX, particles. Classic game juice stuff.
Pretty simple game and submission, a solid take on the theme - really good for a 1 day effort!
Maybe it'd be cool if everyone had a way to win, since the game feels like an uphill battle from the get go - so all players could feel like superwinners. I saw the one guy who broke it like Tetris by going 350+; that's also cool :)
Again, I can appreciate the speed at pushing this out in a day - very speedy. Cheers!
i got 139 but i clearly had that last one i think it's rigged /s simple but effective concept. kinda sad you can't actually win.
Woah! This is pretty creative, the first pong game I have seen this jam. Good job!
Tbh, I think this is a brilliant idea for a pong game. I like the simplicity of it all that just works)
I only wish there was sounds and music to elevate overal expirience. Great work!

Nice 'n simple take on the theme. Always got time for pong!
GJ!
This game is really cool! I really liked the gimmick and it is a refresher from the much more complex games this jam
It was so big the other pad just disappear, my collider stop working AND the ball still return even if the other pad is not there....
Haha, there's no bug here. This game was made in the last few hours of the jam (without an engine) so the code is all spaghetti, leading to this outcome.
There's a ton of stuff at play here, and if you're interested I could explain it all, but for now we can just say you were so good at the game you broke it (my high score is in the 80s lol).
We got endless survival pong before GTA 6!!!!!!! Cute minimalistic game
Look at my comment, it is not endless. You can beat this game so go back and JUST DO IT. Lol
Thanks!
Bad pong? I don't see the difference; I don't win the real one either haha. Also, it might not be winnable, but it's definitely interesting to see how long you can survive. Interesting idea. good job! Especially since it's without an engine.
Haha, it seems like 350s the limit, according to another player
This is a cool (and fun) game, but it's quite simple
Sure is haha. I was busy the first 3 days so I could only start work on this on the last day unfortunately.
Neat game! My best score was 101!
Dang, you beat me at my own game haha
It's a nice take on the classic Pong game. Too bad it was too simple both art and gameplay wise.
Yeah, I wanted to do much more but didn't have the time, unfortunately. Thanks for giving it a try though!
Nice work! I think it would be more fun if it was even more harder haha
Definitely! I was thinking of adding more game modes but didn't have time
Very interesting idea! I enjoyed the gameplay and it's a fun little twist to the old pong game.
I'd love to see more games from you, keep up the good work!
I'll definitely be making more (better) games soon, might join Brackeys jam next month too. Be on the lookout haha
Cheese pong. I really enjoyed it!
Thank you!
It's Pong with cheese! Which is better. Everybody likes cheese. If you don't like cheese then something's very wrong with you and you should go to cheese therapy. Good game!
Cheese FTW
At first I didn't know what was going on but it is indeed a fitting name :D Simple but fun!
Yeah, the scaling takes a bit cuz otherwise players might die too quick. Thanks!
You have created the difficulty curve that "good" pong lacks. Good job!
Maybe a bit too difficult, I can't get past 80 haha. Thanks!
pong < bad pong
thanks haha
