Thank you very much for your kind words :)
I love icons because they are a search for the fundamental. The idea of telling a well known story out of icons has been in my mind for a long time. I always felt like it could "uniquelly" exploit the gaming culture but never felt confident enough to materialize it. I am a horrible story teller. The jam filled me out of bravery and I have gone for the concept, knowing that it is not a particularly popular game genre, nor does it have a spectacular presentation. I am very happy with the result and I am enormously glad of seen it understood.
I have to say that the front-end simplicity disappears when you look at the code :D
Have fun with this casual and free game of table tennis. Show off your mouse skills by holding out as long as you can against an almost infallible opponent.
Instead of been a normalized match, the speed of the ball is scored on each stroke. Score grows exponentially with ball speed. Accumulate as many points as you can and climb to the top of the local scoreboard.
Each match begins with two lives. They will be lost by throwing the ball off the court or by hitting the net. You will get a chance to get them back by bouncing the ball over the flashing areas on the field, as shown in the third screenshot. Live restoring opportunities will be scarce over time.
Thanks for trying it out and enjoy!
