Great work! I like how you took an existing concept and extended it with twists fitting the theme.
The twists were implemented quite well and the (random?) variations keeps the game interesting ;)

Game Description
Prototyped a 3D paddle ball game, where different aspects get inversed
How does your game tie into the theme?
The main aspects of the game get randomly "inversed"

No - i have enjoyed working on the game and wish to make many improvements over the coming weeks :)

Numero Uno for me! For someone who mainly dabbles in mini 2D projects for myself, I have really enjoyed using the jam as a purpose to learn the "3rd dimension of Godot" so to speak!

The gravity switching is quite an interesting effect, but it is very hard to track the ball. I think just giving the ball a shadow could help? Also maybe the player moves a little fast, they could have more control if it was a bit slower and perhaps had a bit of acceleration time.
The game seems fun with some more tweaking. It was too hard for me just at the beginning. Getting slowly a bit better. But, I saw no chance in ever winning in a decent time. I wished you had added multiple levels to that game.... just to encourage me as a player to move on and try harder and see my progress. And then one by one adding the different inversions each level... and finally switching between them randomly. Also the champion could at the beginning be replaced by an amateur... then a hobbyist and so on... to gradually make it harder to win.
I totally like the idea of that pong revival. It's a classic and this adds to needed variation to make the game interesting again. 👏
Congrats on submitting!
I had fun! It's a difficult game, maybe some indication that something is about to happen would be nice.
I am the worst at this but I like it. It's interesting how the different inversions can stack up.
