This was fun!! the music and sound effects were a perfect fit. The restart is mentioned already but it`s the only thing I noticed that could be added ^^
Oh this is neat!! Very easy to understand but surprisingly addictive. I liked the calming music and the background color change was a nice change of pace. I found the easter egg :)
It would have been cool to see more powerups, like ones that make the paddle wider, or slow down the balls. Also, it was a little hard to keep the extra balls in play, but they occasionally would help me score an extra point or two so I still tried to pick them up.
Very neat entry with a unique take on pong.
Congrats on submitting! The music is quite nice and chill, and the core concept of circular Pong is interesting. The controls were intuitive and felt pretty good. I also liked that the score is displayed in the middle of the screen, that's exactly where my eyes are most of the time. Well done for not taking the usual option and dumping it out to a corner!
There are a few things that could be improved, however. Initially, I found it quite difficult to see what was going on, and the lack of an automatic reset after losing was frustrating. The checkerboard background pattern was a bit hard on the eyes, and the background change at 20 points was a bit jarring and threw me off. The power-up didn't actually end up adding all that much to it, because I found that I just ignored any extra balls ๐ซ
Overall, it's a decent effort for a game jam, and with a few tweaks it could be even more enjoyable!
Nice Pong variant.
Fun concept to move in a circle. Mouse sensitivity was perhaps a bit too high, and when the ball was missed.. nothing happened until the reset button was pressed. The music was nice, and when you had a good sequence of bounces, it was certainly satisfying.
Graphically simple but good for the purpose. I did miss the theme: strange power-ups a bit..
All in all, an enjoyable variant of Pong. Well done ๐ช.
simple mechanics art is good music is also neat but the crazy powerups not much.
also theres no restarting when the ball goes to oblivion
Very nice game. I have found one that my brother will definitely lose to me at for the mean time.
Keep up the good work dude ;)
Nice little game
It's a nice spin on pong! Get it? Spin?
Does the ball come back? I hit it on the first turn, it bounces away and never comes back :(
Am I supposed to spin around and catch it?
It was pretty fun and challenging, good job :D
Fun little game, with nice sounds x)
Did you make this for 2 different jams?
yeah
genius
