Like about that a game of pong has some story. I don't really think the art fits in and I didn't really have fun playing it because it's kind of boring. The song is relaxing though. The problem I can probably see is that I don't really see this game fits the theme but pretty nice.

I really like the idea of this game, but when I play ping pong with the dog sometime ball just enters the void with dog when I hit it with my lag(?)

Nice game! Really liked seeing pong with a story element! Is there a way to win?

Really nice game. It reminds me of the orignal pokemon games. My only complaint is that the character is in pixel art but nothing else is. 

hahahaha this is the game i like most of all the jamm,... congraaats!!! really funnn!

Really nice game, really like the art style and music, the pong gameplay was simple and nice although sometimes the ball could go too fast to even see it, overall really good and simple game. great work

Cutscenes looked great and even though it was simple, still had a good premise to it. I wish I could get my dogs to play pong with me :(

Wow man, I very nice twist on pong and such a wholesome story, I really like the pixel art and the cutscene art.

I really enjoyed the isometric environments and the general idea of exploring to progress. It's nice to not have a tutorial holding your hands sometimes. Very cute story and very fitting I feel for the times as I'm sure there's quite a few people that started making friends with their neighbors dogs out of boredom this last year. Enjoyed and rated! :)

Much Pong, very cool game! I really appreciate that you’re telling a story, not many jam games do that. Particularly interesting to me since I’m (gratefully) not in school right now, but can’t imagine how difficult it must be for students during the pandemic.

Gameplay-wise, I really like that you basically combine two games in one; my favorite kinds of games are the ones that surprise you with their mechanics. Very difficult to pull off in a game jam. My only criticism really is that the Pong game felt way too slow, and I actually quit after a few minutes of no one scoring. Reading the comments now, I’m realizing that you can move left and right too, which I had no idea about! Maybe you could telegraph that somehow, whether with in-game text or something more subtle to get the player to realize they can do that. I’m so used to regular Pong I didn’t even consider it :)

Destroyed a dog in Pong by exploiting the fact that my paddle could move left and right.  Such game, such fun!  But really, I had a great time and for some reason being able to bum rush the ball in pong had me laughing!  The close up of the dog made him seem like a jump scare and I was always apprehensive even though I don't think that's at all what you were going for XD.  I think the game could have benefitted from the boy walking faster to the neighbor's house and I also felt like I was getting caught on the edges of the sidewalk for some reason.  Definitely a cute, quick, sad, and happy story.

Wow very interesting game, I did not expect that at all, I had a good time and enjoyed the cute little animations! :D For some reason, I was convinced there was going to be a jump scare or a twist in the story that the dog was a killer or something, but in general this was super unique and awesome :) You can tell you guys put loads of effort into this game, fantastic work!
