First I thought, isn't this just normal pong? then the first enemy died and the title made sense. I really like the visuals!

Took me a moment to figure out how to get going, but once it clicked--man, what a rush of nostalgia!  I liked this one a lot.  At first I was thinking that having some sort of visual representation of the shooter would help, but now I'm thinking it's fine the way it is.  Is there anything beyond the DK level?  Really nice work.

Thank you very much, after the Kong level it just takes you to the start menu, and that's it.

Well done! This is a fun little blast of nostalgia. The game is more aesthetically pleasing than anything else, so good job on the graphics!

The gameplay was quite fun too! Shooting while playing Pong is pretty satisfying. Little things like how the ball can actually hit the tiny enemies and bounce are what turn this from "good" to "great". The different game worlds were nicely designed too, although I would've liked to see some more interesting mechanic variations between them. The ball did get stuck quite a few times after some dodgy bounces, getting stuck permanently bouncing vertically or horizontally at the top of screen.

Great work either way and thanks for the nostalgia trip! Would definitely play more of this if you expand upon it. Congrats on submitting 2 minutes before the deadline btw :D

Thank you, with just your message, all the hours programming and designing were worth it.  Yes, I took errors and bugs into account after uploading it to the platform :v, but in the future I will correct and improve the game, since it is one of the games that I really enjoy making.
