Notes from gameplay:
- Adorable name!
- Great splash page, love the color highlight for difficulty selection. Nice art, good font choices, colors pop.
- Trying out easy mode to start
- Would be nice to have an indicator of which direction the ball will spawn.
- Took me a round or two to realize I'm on the left and the right is the enemy
- Keep losing the first round because the ball spawns in a place I can't scroll to quickly enough
- Background art is lovely, but might be a bit busy - turning down opacity or adding a highlight around the ball would make it easier to see
- Nice end game screens for both win and loss!
- Looks like ball can get stuck between AI and the wall, bounces around a bunch before finally vanishing
- Observed ball bouncing backwards towards me off some invisible collision at the top of the screen instead of towards the AI
- Great job making the AI! It responds well and overall seems very fluid in movements with no obvious bugs
- Very smart job of adding directional "nudges" to avoid up/down bounces (might be a factor in the invisible collision noted above)
- Music would be nice and make it more exciting
This is a great, polished start on a pong clone and I hope you continue work on this! The art is super cute and cohesive. You've done an excellent job building the AI and it looks like you have a nice roadmap for future improvement.
