First of all, it is a solid Pong clone with a powerup mechanic against a simple AI. That is nice.
It does not seem to possible to beat the AI without any powerups. Since there is no mechanic to control the behaviour of the ball, or as far as i could tell it also did not speed up, which means the AI can always keep up by simple following the ball.
But most powerups, except for the “mutliball” one, only last very few seconds, allowing you to score maybe a single point while they are active. And as soon as the multiball is active the ai is (understandably) confused and hardly catches any balls, making you get into the leads easily.
I also was unable to understand how the “coin” system works. Each time you hit the ball you get at least one coin, but i sometimes got up to 3 coins. Is that just a bug or some mechanic like moving the paddle while hitting the ball for more “style”.
Something about this entry feels odd however, like it is not entirely genuine.
Particle effects are 👍🏻 🙂
Having a shop was a fun addition to pong! Others mentioned this as well, but setting the resolution manually should fix the issue with it being too small in the browser.
Pretty cool but I'm not sure how to link it to the theme of the jam
A table tennis, brings back memories of my old Atari days
So, this is pong. Not sure what that has to do with shapes. Rated accordingly
Am sorry I tried to fix it but it could not work please give it a good rating
I think when submitting this game to the web, you should set a manual resolution in your itch project and put it to match the canvas/screen size you are using. Currently this can’t be played as a large part is the table and shop options are not visible.
edit the project page in itch and reply so I can play and rate. Good reminder to always play the game once after you submit it just to make sure it’s working ok.
cheers!
wanted to try your game, cuz thumbnail seems catchy, but i can't fairly rate this entry because i couldn't play it, since the game runs in a small resolution, so the buttons don't even fit on screen
