Notes from gameplay:
- Adorable name!
- Great splash page, love the color highlight for difficulty selection. Nice art, good font choices, colors pop.
- Trying out easy mode to start
- Would be nice to have an indicator of which direction the ball will spawn.
- Took me a round or two to realize I'm on the left and the right is the enemy
- Keep losing the first round because the ball spawns in a place I can't scroll to quickly enough
- Background art is lovely, but might be a bit busy - turning down opacity or adding a highlight around the ball would make it easier to see
- Nice end game screens for both win and loss!
- Looks like ball can get stuck between AI and the wall, bounces around a bunch before finally vanishing
- Observed ball bouncing backwards towards me off some invisible collision at the top of the screen instead of towards the AI
- Great job making the AI! It responds well and overall seems very fluid in movements with no obvious bugs
- Very smart job of adding directional "nudges" to avoid up/down bounces (might be a factor in the invisible collision noted above)
- Music would be nice and make it more exciting
This is a great, polished start on a pong clone and I hope you continue work on this! The art is super cute and cohesive. You've done an excellent job building the AI and it looks like you have a nice roadmap for future improvement.
Thank you for such a nice breakdown of your experience and for playing the game. Thank you as well for bringing some problems to my attention, its easy to miss things when you're only looking at how it should behave. I will definitely make some changes based on your feedback in the near future :)
Don't let the ratings get to you, they were tanked. The winner got to have dozens of external votes while the rest of us got to suffer from those external votes downvoting us!
Cute little horror pong xD
Well presented classic.
