HyperPong

HyperPong is a simple pong clone and our first Ludum Dare game. Our goal was to use as little graphics as possible and just code it all in! Somewhere along the way, we might have gotten a little to focused on that... and forgot to add actual gameplay. :3 No matter! We've learned a lot and are happy with our results so far.

Functions already in the game:

- fully functioning menu ( with a little too less info )
- pretty darn smart AI ( which is buggy )
- All balls have tails!!1!
- Bouncy paddles!!!
- Debug Menu (activate with CTRL + ALT + F1 )

Rather important functions we have forgotten about:

- SCORES!
- Upgrades
- Campaign
- Story lines ( where did mommy paddle and daddy paddle go? Who's that strange tailed ball bumping into you? Who am I??!)
- Player levels
- Cookies

If you're playing single player, use [W,S} to move, if you're the second player, use the up and down arrow keys. Navigate through the menu's using the arrow keys again and return using backspace. Use "A" to pause the game ( too lazy to bind it to a more logical key? )

Have fun playing the game without a goal!

I see the screenshot and I said: HOLLY SHIT !

I like the bouncing paddles, but how can I get hundred of balls like on the picture ?

Press CTRL + ALT + F1 to enter debug mode, extra balls will be automatically spawned and you can press the space bar to your hearts content to spawn even more :3

I love all the subtle animations. It really gave it good game feel and polish :)

Seemed pretty simple, but I love the little animations. I included it in 8 of my Mini LD #58 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Ln72VI5jTnA
