Pong (you are the ball) by madeinpda

[raw]
made by madeinpda for LD26 (COMPO)
Can't imagine a game more minimalist than Pong as I played it for first time at a Magnavox, so my entry is some kind of pong tribute with a twisted fast paced gameplay!

Instead of playing with the paddles to hit the ball you play with the ball trying to avoid the paddles... Hey isn't so bad as it sounds!

Key Features of my entry:
- Web based
- Fast-paced gameplay (30 seconds per play)
- Time bending effect to make the gameplay faster and more interesting
- Minimal size (just 8kb)
- Minimal effort :-P made in less than 8 hours just for fun

It has been quick and funny to make, I hope someone finds it interesting to play :-)

This is a very good idea to express minimalism
But god this is hard!
On the other hand, I think the regular Pong is way too hard too, so, maybe I'm the problem ^^

It's fun and a great idea ^^ Sometimes you just need to change the point of view and you have a brand new game, good job!

Pure minimalism :)

Very cool concept, and very well done! It's very challenging to play but when you get a score it really feels great.

I found it very hard to control the ball. Still, nice work!

Very difficult, love the art style though. Great idea too! Some sort of visual indicator of your influence on the ball would be nice. I felt like my actions weren't doing much.

It was pretty hard, but a nice idea.
