I loved it, I think my favorite was portal frenzy, what a wild mode. I kind of wish the paddle speed was a bit faster, but I definitely can understand why you made it slower from a design perspective.

Classic Pong, but with Portals to mix things up!

Super cool game! I’m a fan of the fact that after the ball goes through a paddle portal, it doesn’t just go out the other paddle but instead it goes out a separate set of portals that you need to keep your eye on.
I’ve seen portal mixed with pong before, but not quite like this, the design (especially for portal frenzy) forces you to actually strategize where the ball will go to next.
The paddles are a bit slow to my liking, but I understand why they are, they’re to help make sure you think and strategize your position rather than just being able to zip instantly.
Over all this is just super solid, most other pong mixed with portal games I’ve seen use it as a one-dimensional mechanic as a way of showing “look guys the paddles are now portals.” But you clearly wanted to make a fun game with some value rather than a throwaway joke.
SO MUCH FUN! My partner and I sat here playing and cackling - Portal Frenzy was definitely the best version, it was so silly and so fun. Really great work.
