Simple yet creative game, the one direction limitation is quite hard! Good physics on the ball bounces!!

Cool and simple game. Congrats.

You really go with the head in the  "one button" theme, really cool. The methods that you use to control the menu, and to control a already recognized game.
A asymmetrical platform would show the actual direction, maybe limit the angle of the ball to not get a boring game with minutes of the ball bouncing on the walls, one of the games the ball escape by the left upper corner and never come back.

Thanks for the  usefull feedback. I think I'm going to implement them as soon as I can. Furthermore, the issue you mentioned is a known bug but I had not the time to correct it.

interesting take on a pong style game.  well done!

cool game ^,..,^

I like how the opposite team is reverse from us. the paddle is the hole instead of behind it. It makes for a longer  game which I kinda like.

I really like how you turned this into a soccer/football theme, made it better than an average plain pong game. I also enjoy how the ball bounced back still if you missed the net, allowing for longer games and less failure! Cool game!

Fun, and surprisingly hard.

In the end I found two-direction mode the ‘easiest’ once I’d gotten used to the control mechanic :)

Really gives the style of a retro game, well done! The controlls take getting used to but overall a nice game!

Really cool pong game.  Was difficult at 2 direction mode. well done. Also, its not suited for small laptop screens 1366x768. I couldn't see the top or bottom.

Thanks for the feedback. It is true, I was focued on "average" mobile phone screen size ratio and this is the result; by the way, it represents a learning lesson for the next time.

nice! its surprisingly hard to play this. maybe one option could be that when you release the button you change the direction for the next time you hold it.
I know that's just a detail, but i really like how you navigate the menu :)

Cool idea, and well executed! Like the introduction of a goal mechanic to a typical pong game and the visuals.
