Didn't had much fun since I test it by myself, it could be nice to have some AI to enjoy alone.
I don't think danmaku fits well into pong, reimu's orbs worked well, but maybe other attacks or defense patterns might work to fit this better (I like sanae snake though), maybe a little bit faster could do the trick.
Portraits and spell cards are very cute.
Got a crazy double game bug.
The game also becomes very uneventful once all the spellcards have been exhausted.
The concept though is quite fun, being a very big subversion of Touhou and Pong.
Thanks for the video. It helps a lot with tracking down the issue. I haven't found it yet, but I'll be sure to upload a fix once I do (and make spell cards more frequent). Sorry you ran into that, and that you for the kind words in spite of it!
Really cool concept, unfortunately i dont have a friend to play this with so it's a bit awkward to play by myself, but i see the vision. Hopefully a newer version has ai so i could play this properly.
Also the yin yang balls do a funny if they are squished from above or below by the paddles. They become super fast. That might be true of other objects as well.
Thanks for playing! After the jam is over, I'm hoping to go back and add a basic AI. I just didn't get around to it during the jam because it could have been a time sink and I wanted prioritize the abilities.
And you're right, the paddles can squish any object to make it fast! That's a bug with how the paddles increase the speed of objects every time they bounce and is another thing I am hoping to fix after the jam. For now though, I suppose it is a fun cheat?
