Paint Pong

by coubas
Paint Pong is very close to the original Pong game, but the rules are a little bit different. You have 20 going and comming to paint more surface than your opponant. To do that just hit the ball with your paddle, it will charge it with your color then it will paint for you. But be carefull the more the ball is charged the more it can explode and realese a huge splatter of paint!

You can play alone againts an IA or with your favorite mate.

Paint Pong is the first game I've made all by myself.
I havn't aim to high and I'm pretty satisfied by the result :)
Enjoy!

Very interesting mechanic :) Nicely done. Think I'd have gone with the name "Balls of Paint" just so I could use the acronym BoP!

This is awesome and very colorful.
I love it. Some tips on how to play would be a benefit.

Cute idea and good job on completing your first game. It really is a nice twist to it. The UI makes things pretty clear too.

I just noticed 2 issues with it:
- the keys are inverted. Z goes up and S goes down, which feels backwards.
- initially I thought the ball would just freeze after a while for no reason. Then I noticed there is a counter and the player with the most color on wins. I guess it would make things more clear if there was a real end screen of sorts.

Great one, love the way points are scored. my only complain would be that it has no qwertz keyboard support

The same issue as with all others above, inverted keyboard input. The standard is either arrows, or W/S for up/down.

I really like the way the game works. As said above, more paint please! Also, I think it'd be better to remove the time limit and play until the percentage reaches 100% on either player. It'd also be helpful if the keys where further apart and not inverted.

Other than that, I really enjoyed this entry. The game itself is very enjoyable and the issues are minor.

Great job!

Hello everyone, thanx for the nice comments :)

About the issues you all noticed :
-inputs are made this way because i'm french and i juste forgot about the qwerty/azerty thing xD
-and about the and game where there is no feedback at all i was just lazy on this point ^^

This little project was about refreshing my mind, i'm working on another game (Slice of Sky) which is a more bigger project.
I'll take some tine in the next week to correct those little errors.

Thanks again for the feedbacks !!!

Clever. I like it. I'd consider adding an alternate win condition for covering >50% in your colour. (And I also forgot about other keyboard layouts, but in reverse...)

And here it is, I've add a command for the QWERTY keyboard, it should be better.

I've also add a 50% mode, some of you ask for it, here it is!
