Did you use any third-party assets or skeleton code?
I used assets. Smooth movement tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KceMokK2qFA& , some tilesets from game endeavor's tileset: https://game-endeavor.itch.io/mystic-woods were used in development for placeholder, though they are replaced. The music: https://pixabay.com/music/synthwave-a-hero-of-the-80s-126684/ and the colour palette: https://lospec.com/palette-list/2bit-demichrome. Obv, the game is based on Pong

Absolutely bizarre, and weirdly fun! But it is very unclear what the player's goal is. I understood it better after reading the game's page, but I would really recommend making it clear in game what the player should be trying to do. You can do this by giving more player feedback such as pop up indicators to say what they have accomplished. For example, I could tell that my paddle starts to rotate faster, but it isn't clear what causes it. Maybe add some stat symbols, and have a '+paddle speed' symbol pop up when that gets unlocked? There are definitely some interesting ideas here and a solid foundation, so keep playtesting and iterating on those ideas!

Bounce BlastThanks for the really useful feedback! I thought that the popup menu should be there but then after not being able to get a satisfactory result, skill issue on my part, removed it altogether. I should've added some story cutscenes to make things clearer.. I'm sorry that the game experience was not as good.
I have no idea what's going on in this game but it gives me dopamine

System FailureI like art style and music ! I think that ablity to stop the shield would be nice but overall good job!

God Of Balance is not fairThe art is cute. The shaky camera is a bit annoying. The music was a nice choice. I would have liked a little more control over the character, like slightly slower movement as well as instant start and stopping. The shield didn't seem that useful, it felt like basically RNG whether or not it blocks a hit.
Overall, pretty decent submission.

Naked Man With a GunThe art is nice and the game seems cool but I honestly had no clue what I was doing and got very confused by the health bar being the reverse of what is normal

Stasis ShotThe paddle is crazy fast, andf i dont understand what should i do. Should i try to hit the balls or stay away from them? But a thing i loved was the music and the art
