MiniLD #58compo
Blorf Pong
Compo version: Pong on acid. Hopefully the very worst, most unplayable, most vomit inducing pong clone ever.
Postcompo version: Pong on acider. Redid the mechanics using Box2D for the science, adding pistons to the paddles. Also particle effects. Also got rid of the awful music. Also the AI is a lot more interesting to play against now. It's almost not-sucky, but it's EVEN HARDER to stomach now.
Controls on first version: Up/Down
Controls on second version : Up/Down, Right to fire piston.
Game: Made with Three.js

Other than that, it's really nice.
Exceedingly tough to play!
Enjoyed it!
Nice image effect on the background too - which was it?
Gonna check out the post compo version. I love it when simple games are cloned but taken to crazy levels of juice & polish :) shows how much of that stuff really contributes to a game's enjoyment.
For the post-compo version, various elements are rendered in a 'glow' pass which basically just blurs them a bit then adds that composites that back in with an additive blend. I kinda love playing with render to texture :)
