I really like the idea, very creative! :) It looks and sounds good too. 

One problem I noticed though is that the ball moves really fast, which is especially hard when serving. Sometimes the paddle/burger was positioned so that there was no way to actually catch the ball. But that seems like a thing that should be easy to fix. :)

Great job!

Loved this! The idea is brilliant, the visuals are super great, and the paddle becoming harder to move as your burger gets bigger a genius mechanic! You've delivered a very polished game here. I wish there a singleplayer mode as well (Pong AI is pretty easy if you feel like implementing it!) and the paddle itself felt a bit clunky to move, but regardless was a very fun game that I would play again!

This is a really cool idea that is super smart!

I love the negative feedback loop that comes with winning a new piece of the burger, it gives the other player a better chance at catching up. And because your burger get’s taller (or longer? IDK), it means that in the later parts of the game when both sides have gotten many pieces, the burger actually makes it harder to hit it back to the other side, better solidifying who wins the game. Perfect party game design!

I could see this being turned into a four player game, one were people could play horizontally.

The initial controls (even with no burger pieces) is very slippery and sometimes uncontrollable, but other than that, really smart and fun!

Woooow! I love the idea! It's a good twist on the game!

I really like this idea, it is charming to play, I don't have a player 2 here at the moment so i had to try me vs I, and the only thing was the paddles felt a little slow, I imagine when played properly with two players that isn't as much the case.

This game is both creative and has good visuals! Though I fought with myself in this game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
