I was able to beat one level... the ice one. That was all. This game feels like it is made for the best pong players in the world, that also like adventure games? The art style and level menu kinda reminds me of a previous adventure jam game I did called ball questing. Could use some work, but is a pretty cool idea!

It's story-based...pong? Well, that's not something I was expecting to run into in this jam. You made some interesting variations on the game, but overall I think I'm just not sure if campaign-based pong was something I wanted very much, especially since the controller was kind of hard to use.

I first wondered what this game was about, but it IS a pong game :) Nice idea, with a story and all. Good job!

This was quite a fun little take on the Pong game! Loved the variations / worlds that you came up with, especially enjoyed the ice one as it was a bit more fast paced! Collisions worked ok on my end, I'd say the more ennoying issue for me was that sometimes the ball would end up almost at a vertical angle, and take a full minute before it reached anything that could change its angle, making it a bit long to wait. Loved the music, and overall atmosphere going through the various levels. Good job!

Thank you for the feedback and playing!

Somewhat cool, but the extra elements tend to be a bit unpredictable and make things feel a bit random rather than skill-based. Also the controls are a bit loose and the framerate is low for some reason. Also I don't get what the writing is about. What's with all the "I look up" stuff?

Here is the description of the game. "In the land of Pong. There are increasing amount of Pong  who are awakening with mysterious power. Although, they are only strong enough to affect their environment..yet. And... change their physical appearance.  I, Ulloriaq shall become the Pong Monarch!" About the extra elements, the awakening of Pongs have only begun, thus they can't directly wield the power of elements, but they can exhibit their power through surroundings. The "I look up" stuff comes from the character, he is just a normal Pong, but still wants to become the strongest Pong in the changing world. Looking up, till he can look down on everything, something like that. Thank your the feedback tho!
