Nice blend of Pong and breakout!  This game adds a new dimension to the experience where it is within your best interest to keep the pong ball away from the other player's court.  The gameplay is smooth and the music fit in nicely.

Fun idea! The bounty system is a cool idea, though due to the nature of breakout the ball can get stuck on one side for the an entire match which could be boring as a 2 player game. Playing it as one player it's still very fun, Almost like breakout but you don't have the safety of a ceiling and have to control both sides!

Thank you for playing! Actually, I was thinking of making at least one hole that the ball can pass between the bricks but didn’t get to it before the deadline.

For anyone reading after the voting and the jam ended, I added a “hole” in the middle so that this is less an issue. I’ll do probably one more update before calling this project “done”.

Music, sounf FX and better menu is added. I couldn’t find enough time for AI or settings, so it’ll have to be a 2p game for this jam.

Good luck everyone!

To be done: Music, sound FX, basic AI, settings etc.

For now, this is 2 players only. Menus don’t work well. To exit hit F4 (exe version). To go fullscreen hit F11.

Left player: w/s

Right player: up/down

Made with Lyte2D (**) for PONGJAM!

(*) With roguelike elements
