Pong mixed with Flappy Bird - very cool. Simple yet very addictive.

Also some of the best use of Hyplay I've seen in the jam so far.

As far as feedback goes:

  • Having the input be registered on mouse up as opposed to mouse down was frustrating - especially because the game requires very tight timing
  • My runs basically always ended as soon as the paddle relocated to the very top or very bottom - I think maybe they should have some buffer from the edges
  • I think making the hitbox for the paddle a bit larger would feel better. There were times where the ball hit the paddle from the top, and I would expect it to register as a hit, but it wouldn't.
  • Having the blue outline on the paddle fade slowly over time after hitting as opposed to disappearing abruptly would be a nice little extra detail for polish

Very well done, I had a lot of fun with this game.

Thank you for playing! I'll try to address each point I haven't done before. A buffer zone is probably a good idea, I had some trouble when it hit the edges as well haha. I actually encountered the hitbox problems that some other people mentioned had and thought I fixed it. Turns out I had to increase the size of the game on the itch page since I was usually testing in full screen mode. The blue outline disappearing slowly is also a good idea, I'll try to add that in when the jam ends.
