well there are tons of variations of pong out there. Even I spent 30 minutes of my time before making one. I definately like the firing thats a new idea. Mine just was simple pong game.


Your game is pretty good, just add more colors around to make it more then just a skeleton version and it will be fun to play. Another cool thing I had before is have after a few levels throw out a second ball, then third, etc... makes it more fun and challenging.

And another one is a bonus that happens after or during levels, say a bonus comes down from top and you have to hit it with a bouncing ball to recover health.

Hope this helps.

my paddle actually got stuck up in the right hand corner... just thought i'd let ya know


really good game by the way

whoa, i thought this thread was dead...lol

abumslife - how did your paddle get stuck? are you sure it wasnt the reverse paddle direction power up, so when you pressed down, your paddle moves up, giving it a sense that it was stuck?

Saphua - Fixed that.

Magnetos - Did the ball get stuck on its own, or did it get stuck because your paddle was there? I have had some problems with the bug where you can trap the ball in the corners and i havent been able to fix it.

yes thats exactly what happened i trapped the ball on the corner
then when i moved the paddle the ball got away

it could be because of the bounceble walls test it with fixed walls and see what happens

[dbarbarian]

magnetos - the problem is that the paddle keeps hitting the ball into the wall, and the wall bounces it back into the paddle, and since the ball is basically inside the wall, there is no movement...the only way to fix this is to change the angle dynamics of the paddle against ball for a situation like that, but i have come to a conclusion due to my lazyness. its not a major bug. lol. i mean, all you do is move away from it a little. leight has also noticed this problem in the other thread. sry, but im busy with dragonforce now. (if i sound like im mad or annoyed, im not) Your comments are always very welcome.
