Great atmosphere!
I liked the game so much, I turned it into a bedtime story:
I played with glitches stacked on me
nifty colors fun to see
Glitch on glitch they nipped at me
nifty colors danced with glee
Glitches stacked against my spree
CRT rainbows fantastically
Stack the glitches one two three
nifty colors cheer for me
The ball went boop through static sea
glitches piled pretty to see
Glitches tall as they could be
nifty colors set me free
Glad you enjoyed, fantastic poem! :D
Incredible aesthetic and great vibes. Really fun!
I really liked how some of the jammers decided to recreate those classic good old games and give them some twists and that definitely makes the game much more fun! Love the CRT and glitch effects and those make the game more classic feel and creates some good old days vibe. Great job!
I couldn't beat the AI some of those glitches really threw me. Great time though, good job.
Really cool Game! We also thought about breaking Pong but settled on space invaders instead :)
Amazing
I like how CRT shader combining with modifiers it creates an such cool atmosphere! But the game was a little difficult for me :P. Very funny, i enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed! :D
There's a Casual Mode too, which makes everything a little slower, the AI slightly worse, and the glitches slightly less frequent, you can enable it by clicking the "Difficulty: Normal" on the titlescreen
Okay, thank you!
Very clever use of the theme to gradually up the challenge. Loved the variety of bugs and how they could sometimes end up benefiting me. What a beautiful CRT screen presentation as well. Had a ton of fun playing!
Crispy CRT shader. Unfortunately I can barely beat pong without modifiers, so this was a bit tough.
Never had so much fun playing pong! Love that the game looked like a CRT monitor!
Great twist on pong and very well executed. Clean visuals and those hit sounds are super satisfying
Very Very well done! had a lot of fun with this one
A pretty fun twist, I enjoyed it!
Great visuals, great sound, and on theme. I would have loved to have seen a little more experimentation with the game play itself, but that's being nit picky. Top marks! had a blast.
Classic Pong <3 Art was really well done!
Peak visual shader and soundfx design, theme fitted well into gameplay. Cool game!
noice
This is sweet! Such a clever and fun twist on good ol' Pong. The visual effects were great, the glitches did a great job of elevating the gameplay in a meaningful way, and I think you did a great job giving this game juice and polish. Nicely done!
Super cool!! I love the visual effects and the different glitches, some of them really tripped me up when there was multiple occurring at once haha
Ye my usual artist unfortunately completely abandoned me and left me to die this jam, but I made do with the skills I have yk :P
LMAOO
Damn this game is awesome!
Glad you enioyed :D
