Oh boy! I love playing games!
Great idea! Though I feel the execution got a little mangled, Portal Pong sounds really fun! Though the background kind of made the ball blend into the background a good bit, and the instructions weren't clear at first. (Which is kind of hard to accomplish for one of the oldest games of all time)
Love the idea of Portal Pong though!

Thanks a lot!
Yeah, the execution was a bit poor and it lacked some features that I wish I could add. I definitely am gonna improve this game some time and make it a bit more enjoyable. Thank you so much for your feedback!
Cheers!
The idea here is awesome! Great job making this in 3 hours!
If I may give a couple points of more critical feedback, I agree with ProSmashy that the orange foe teleports a little too often. Additionally, I had several instances where the ball passed just slightly outside the hitbox for the portal. It might even be fun to add a mechanic where the ball's path is affected by the nearby portal trying to suck it in. I also had a hard time keeping track of the white ball falling amid the other white orbs falling at a similar speed in the background. I'm not sure if it's intentionally meant to be distracting or not, but it was frustrating.
I totally understand the pressures of the game jam and that not everything you want in the game can be there, or get enough polish. I really hope you continue to develop this idea because it's seriously cool!
Thanks!
I also found that the orange portal teleports too fast and will try to balance it. I will try to fix all of the issues and hopefully in the future, implement some new features. The particles were a last-minute effort by me to make the game look a bit better. I will try to remove the glitches in the game.
Thank you so much for your feedback
I like the idea, but I think that you could make this game a tad easier by making it that orange portal teleports, and then drops the ball, or make it stay in position until you catch a ball.
Thanks for playing! And yeah I will definitely try to fix some of the issues and try to make it easier. Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Cheers!
