How does your game fit the theme?
(Alternate Reality): The idea of the game is that Atari created a sequel to Pong in an alternate reality, and it's a mix of the original Pong and Tennis.
(Time is Power): The more time you let before you hit the ball when it's heading towards you, the more powerful your swing will be.

very nice concept and the mechanics are nice the audio is pleasing aswell very nice and enjoyable game, may u check my game aswell?thanks:)
Thank you so much!
Multiplayer alternate of pong, fun 😊!
GAMEPLAY
First very nice that there is a multiplayer option. That is a nice bonus! It was trial and error before I could hit the ball as I wanted, but it was a nice challenge to learn. Good concept idea for the theme combined with the classic pong. Was fun to play and hard to win from the AI 😉! Some power-ups would have been nice.
GRAPHICS/ART
Simple pixel art, but all in the same coherent style. Fitted well together. Maybe some extra effects would be a nice polish.
AUDIO
Track fitted also with the graphic style. Good music.
THEME
Unique concept for the theme and mechanic.
Overall a fun alternate version on the classic game. Job well done💪!
Thank you very much!!! I'm really glad that you enjoyed it!
If I continue working on it then I'll surely implement the suggestions:
nice tennis game, love the art and the AI was very good, win the set 10-8 x3
excellent man, love this entry so much x3
Thank you so much man!! Finally someone who's actually good at the game xD
Very well polished game! Loved the graphics and the gameplay was absolutely awesome, definitely going to read the devlog, I have no clue how you managed those ball mechanics!
I struggled to find any feedback in all honesty, it's really well polished, but here's what I've got:
But yes, this game is very well polished for a game jam entry (making it really hard to find feedback!!), fantastic job!
I recorded a quick video, in case you want to see how bad I am at tennis XD
Thank you!!!! For real thank you because I really wanted to have little features so that I can polish it to the end so thank you for recognizing that.
again Thank you for the video!! I never thought that the player's movement is that slipper I might increase the drag.
Fun game! This was well done. Obviously we've all played pong like games and tennis games. The only thing I feel this game lacked was the ability to aim. Also perhaps making the player move a bit faster would be nice. When you serve it's almost an instant point to the other player just because it's such a slow shot and they hammer it back. Sometimes you'll luck out and they'll hit it near you so you can return it, but other times there's nothing you can do. It was also strange that balls that would land way off the court would still count. I get that it's pong, but when there's a court, it seems contrary to what you would think would happen. Anyway, well done!
Thank you!!! For the extensive review.
Regarding the aiming facility, It's kind hidden but basically you shoot towards the opposite upsidedown side with a bit of margin of randomness. And sorry for the player being to slow, I guess I testsed it long enough to be a pro so I wasn't bothered by the speed.
Originally you could only serve when the ball hits inside the court first but then I removed it because it became contradictory with the power charge shots that are a core part of the theme.
But again thank you!!!
Lost to AI 3x10... lol.
The minimalist art is very well executed and smooth, it blends well with the music/sounds.
It seems to be one of those games that is easy to start playing but hard to master.
Solid game!
Thank you!!! I hope you had fun with it.
Try it with a friend!
The gameplay is nice but the AI is actually pretty hard to beat...
The audio is fine, and art is pretty effective despite the simplicity.
And there's some kind of delay in the menu when you press space? I accidently skipped the selection menu twice.
Generally really solid game.
Thank you my man!!
The AI is hard probably because only I was playing it consistently while testing it and working on it so I thought it was easy, sorry about that.
The Delay I put there, around 3-5 seconds for people to read the credits even if they skip.
Thank you again!

Awesome Game Idea ! I really enjoyed it , super fun I wasn't getting it the beginning , but I finally finished at like 8 LOL my best score! Great job!
Thank youu!! You can try playing it with your friends! I didn't create the AI with competitiveness in mind just an addition if someone didn't have someone to play with.
I can't beleive how long I tried to beat this stupid blue guy's ass... 9-10 was my best score... Good job, very fun simple game! I cannot wait for my sister to come back from school to play it with her!
xDD, Thank you!! Enjoy you and your sister!
YASSS
Congratulations!!
opening jingle was a bop, and the theme was really well thought out. Played with someone on 2 player, but the sticky keys and other computer commands kept popping up when we tried to play.
I'm glad you liked it! I planned on making a controller support but I thought in the week timeframe I should mainly focus on the game itself instead of a feature.
