Hello GDs,
I just done a game of pong and I want to ask if you got time to check my game and tell me your opinion about it. Here is the link: http://gamejolt.com/games/arcade/pong/20255/.
You can play it without downloading if you press the Quick Play button on the site. Or you can download it if you want:)
Thank you.
Quick play didn't work for me.
Downloaded and it ran fine. Paddle control is very difficult. Background grid is helpful to the player I suppose, but unappealing to my eye. NPC paddle plays well -- I didn't score at all.
Paddle control is the most serious problem, imo. Possible improvements off the top of my head:
1) motion involving acceleration -- ramp up/down quick, player can still 'pulse' the arrow key to move with limited velocity.
2) use the mouse to control the paddle position (cursor and/or scrollwheel)

Thank you for your feedback. I was thinking to implement the posibility for the player to choose if he want to play against AI or against human.
