Neat game! Definitely creative, and a mechanic that goes against my every instinct.

The rebounding logic on the back and sides of the net felt a little odd to use. Sometimes it seemed like it should've deflected, instead of going in the net. There was also the spawning logic for balls going directly in your net, I swear I would've won a game if not for those cheesy shots 😂(maybe a preview of a ball spawning in and / or having a slower initial speed could've helped?)

Great work!

The game idea was very good and the game was really fun to play and I liked how it looked. There is nothing bad in this game its simple fun and looks good.

Pretty fun game! Hard at first, but got at the hang out of it on my second go. Great job, definitely one of my favs this jam.

It was very fun to play and actually pretty hard. The Webbuild worked pretty good on Opera and I had no major problems (except that I kept loosing haha)

The graphics are very nice! Great concept aswell tho it melted my brain a little haha

Congrats on this game jam submission!

Thanks!  Glad to hear its working on Opera, I'm trying to gauge what does and doesnt work with Godot 4s web builds lol.   I appreciate the feedback and review!

This had my brain melting, I kept wanting to let the ball go into the goal. Otherwise I had a lot of fun after getting the hang of it. One major problem is there is practically no time to react after scoring a goal if the trajectory is straight back into yours.

The hitboxes feel a bit weird sometimes, but other than that it plays very smoothly. Great visual style and sound effects as well, great entry!!

Very cool! It's actually pretty fun, the animations are on point and the music too!

Add even more balls FASTER!!! Was really fun and worked well with 2 players.

Submitted(+1)

Really well done! I really liked how the arena isn't a rectangle as it adds for extra confusion and chaos when there's more than one ball on screen. I think it would be good if the back of the goals had colliders to so that the ball isn't just going through from behind. Otherwise, really nice take on Pong!

Developer

Thank you! So the whole collider thing was actually like you described at the start, but you could block the balls behind it which could be annoying. The extra balls spawning would help keep the player from cheesing it though. I appreciate the feedback!

Interesting concept. I like the addition of a second ball after a certain amount of time passes. I wish the ball couldn't aim directly at my net when it spawns though. 

Developer

Yeeeaaaaaah that was logic that got cut last second to polish what I had. Just some fun bad RNG for now lol. Thanks for the review!

Pretty fun game, reversing the roles where you still play as the paddle but avoid the ball instead. Only thing I'd say is it's a bit easy as you can just copy the AI's strategy of staying in the corner.

Developer

Thanks for the review! What's funny is the AIs logic isn't more than a 4 line if statement and was supposed to be added to, but that somehow worked better than expected so it stayed simple lol
