Nice art. I had a little trouble with the controls, though.

Controls were a tad confusing at first. Liked the graphics and audio. Very nice.

Nice graphics and feelings, but the always-staring-at-the-ball character disturbs me, It is hard to correctly hit the ball when and where I want.

Really nice graphics and sounds, but controls were lacking a bit, making it hard to hit the ball where you wanted or move your character where you want him to be, but still playable. Great to see a local coop game on here, something you don't see much around. Great job!

Had fun with this. After the first ball, the controls seem to go crazy if you were still holding WASD down I found.

Funny variation of Pong.
The way avatar look at the ball, forbid pushing the ball like in other clone and then the avatar dodge the ball vs hit it.

Small suggestion (for next time ?) :
* In menu you should support player 1 control (avoid switching from arrow to WSAD)
* In menu it took me time to understand how to navigate and "begin"
* You could bind ZQSD to Azerty user

Great art style and audio. Wish the AI was a bit faster in single player

Very fun! I discovered a bug though, if you keep bouncing the meatball back to yourself really quickly the music stops for some reason

Moar difficult than it looks. Cute graphic, nice bulls (did I really say that?) and simple gameplay. Great game for two. Only that beep sound... so annoying! Anyway, good game overall :)

Graphics and audio were amazing. The controls need more fine tuning.

Funny game! I love the art style and the music, and the gameplay is entertaining (screenshakes, yeah! :)). One minor complaint: could the first player be able to use different keys than WASD (hard to play on a non-QWERTY keyboard :p)

This game is really well done! The graphics are very nice and the sounds are nice too. Challenging.

Amazing tone and graphics, and generally a really charming version of Pong! Love it.
Headmade9 Dec 2014, 00:44
I like the art style and the music really drives you on.

However the ball got stuck in a perfect vertical motion in the half of the opponent, so i couldn't reach it and the NPC only moves up and down so he wouldn't reach it either. I think I would like it better if the NPC would move forward and back, too. This would make things more interesting and easier to score, too (I didn't make a single point :/)
The select screen is a bit confusing at the beginning.
Still a good entry, well done.

The art is very nice. But i have trouble with the controls... Hey dude congrats!

This looks really nice, but unfortunately I can't play it. I have a non-qwerty keyboard, and windows wouldn't let me change layouts in this game. Might be a good idea to add arrow-key support for the single-player campaign.

I didn't really get the controls, the bull rotate itself when the ball come closer, but it looks great anyway. I would remove the 3 seconds cooldown after each goal.

It is impressive for 3 days. Good job.

Looks interesting :D

Too bad it's Windows only, how about a web version?

Sweet artwork. I did have trouble with the ball getting stuck in walls but other than that it was great.

Very nice Graphics, but very hard to control shoots direction (make the hitbox bigger ? / fixe the player direction ?), movements speed too slow and the goal cage are sometime a bit too huge. And diagonal movement close to a wall block the player :/. tl;dr : Nice concept but need some tweaks to be really fun.
Riocide18 Dec 2014, 12:24
Epic! Just didnt quite get how to hit the ball properly :(
