Absolutely love the presentation! I only managed a high score of 8, and found it tough in general, but enjoyed a lot once I got into the rhythm a little more.

Developer

Love the idea and the presentation! I couldn't quite immediately figure out how the game played/why was was losing and had to go to the comments to figure out what to do, but once I did the game was quite fun!

Took a while to understand what was going on but once I did it was really fun and I'm a huge fan of these "one-button games". The art style and SFX are really pleasing too. Awesome work!

Can't seem to get past a score of 20 though :(

Developer

Tysm <3 20 is good!

I saw your game on reddit! The idea is so creative, I love it. Every part of the experience is extremely dissorienting, but I think that's what you were going for, so really nice work haha

Developer

Thank you for playing!!

It took me a few tries to understand how it works, but then it was really fun. It has quite a unique clunky yet well polished feel and all the sound effects (especially the screams at the end) fit the game perfectly, although I found them a bit annoying which actually pushed me to try harder to get better score. Also, the name is hilarious!

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback :)

So satisfying to play, very nice visual and audio set up. I couldn't manage more than 12, so I'll make sure to come back to try and beat yours :D

Developer

<3 Good luck!

Nice game!

:D

Ty!

The name Gnop Gnip still makes me laugh :D
It's fun to play, but it took me a while to understand that the other paddle must not leave the screen on the left side. A visual indication that the paddle bounces off of the other sides but not off the left might have helped. I also encountered a bug where the paddle left the screen and the game kept playing.
Once I got how it works it was definitely a lot of fun and the presentation is very good!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I found that bug too it'll be fixed ASAP. Good idea with the indicator

I'm really not skilled at this, so I didn't manage to do many gnops but the sound design was lovely and art and physics too!!

Developer

Thank you!!

Submitted

Awesome concept! Color scheme and art look so nice. Gameplay is also snappy and easy to get hooked into playing. 

Developer

Thanks :D

Submitted

Really fun twist on Pong! The physics are great, especially with the paddle bouncing, and there is the perfect amount of RNG to make a new high score feel rewarding. I got up to 15!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Good to know the RNG isn't just annoying 

Submitted

Super unique game! The art style is also great, even down to the sound! Took me a while to get a hang of the controls but other than that, great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback :)

I love a game that plays quick and lets me chase a high score, and this one was great! I got up to 28 points. Also, the paddle looks so good flipping around everywhere, gnipping and gnopping off everything.

Developer

Nice good job! Glad you liked it :)

Submitted

I was a bit confused at first (especially with the backward text, lol I didn't get any sleep.) But the gameplay is pretty nice, and the great visuals sell it too.

Submitted

Great art style. Very original and unique concept. Really cool little game.

Very cool game! Somehow gives me Wii Play vibes hhaahha. Great art style. Very simplistc, but fun!

Submitted

I love the style! The subtle details of the different audio pitches and ball physics really make it shine as a polished little game. I did get stuck on my first play, though- The paddle flew past me and the game didn't end, so I had to refresh.

I only got up to 11, but I'll be coming back to beat your high score. Haha

Submitted

Really cool concept, very frustrating (my skill issue) yet so addictive!

Submitted

Really great simple concept executed well! I like how the pitch of the hit sound changes if it hits the paddle or the handle. It took me a few tries to figure out what was going on. My best score was 10.
