Prisoners on Neural Grounds (p.o.n.g)

This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive
(may not load correctly).
Unfortunately, I ran out of time for this LD. Hopefully this short, if buggy, game I created with game maker: studio, in just over 2 days of on-off development - should make up for it.

Controls:
Right mouse button to move (let go and gravity takes effect).
Left mouse button to hold up shield (without it, the balls still damage you - but hold the shield too long and it'll overheat :o)

Story:
Yes there's a story mode, but it'll only take you about 2 minutes.

Challenge:
This is the pong inspired mode. Quite glitchy, and the AI is quite rubbish at it, but it works :)
