Gnop! is Pong, but instead of two paddles controlling one ball, there's one paddle controlling two balls. The balls are gaining speed every ten seconds, so you're trying to survive as long as possible. Use your mouse to move the paddle.
If you survive more than 50 seconds, "Nice job!"
If you survive more than 80 seconds, "You're a great player!"
If you survive more than 100 seconds, "Truly wonderful!"
I'm not sure if "Truly wonderful!" is humanly possible though. Edit: I can confirm that "Truly wonderful!" is possible. I made 101 seconds once.
Thanks to Tijn for the Mac OS X port.
Update: Fixed a bug. It doesn't matter if the mouse leaves the window anymore. And added a fullscreen option.
Cool gameplay variant ! i stopped at 79 and played once again to reach the "great player" stuff :) Is fullscreen possible so the mouse can't get out of the window ? Cheers!
freaknarf and SmallPhil, thanks! freaknarf, I originally made a fullscreen option, but it was kinda buggy. When you go to fulscreen, it wouldn't capture the mouse, I don't know why though.
Hey purplehuman - your updated Mac app doesn't seem to work. I've patched my version with the new .love file, you can find it at the same url as before, that one should work :)

It is a great idea.
I like how you managed to balance it so that i could focus on each ball every 2nd time.
It resembles and idea i had where the paddle was in the middle and the ball would have a room wrap.
Thanks for submitting and a very good job :D
I've made a Mac version using Love.app, you can download it from here if you want: http://whehehe.nl/gnop
