At the middle of the first day I decided to let the theme go and do my own thing. I had more fun and learned some new things.

Nice entry!

Impressed at how smoothly the enemy AI moves. Between that and sound effects, "game feel" is pretty good.

Music got a bit repetitive, but hey, it's a 48-hour jam. There were also some odd collisions when I was moving very fast.

the AI works well even in easy it is not really easy, I had some problems of collision with the white pallet but overall it works but I saw that you have abandoned the theme is good pity....

I am impressed about enemy AI. I am not sure if i could make something like this. Sometimes It felt like my circle is going through ball without touching it when i move too fast, but apart from this great LD entry!

Get4 more like get rekt, ha!

Yeah, like the other says the AI is quite interesting. I think a post-mortem on how you made it would super awesome.

Besides, graphics are clean with a little bit of hand-drawn craft, and the music is arcadey enough (I'll check out beepbox, thanks for the rec!). Heck, as a person who is at the arcade a lot inserting quarters, maybe there's a way to tie this to the theme after all :)

If You move fast enough (and it is not hard to do so) You just skip over disk. You should add some interpolation of pallet movement

Music is very repetitive but I know musik is hard so no big problem :wink: nevertheless I really like the games feel its very fun to play and from the duration you need to play to see everything is perfect for a LD game :thumbsup:

and btw if you move to fast the collision isnt detected

Is a very good game although it is not embedded in the theme. Soft gamepla and good AI.

the AI has a really good personality/feel - how does it change between the difficulty levels?

so i used to play alot of air hockey when i was younger the the main thing i noticed that the puck didnt feel like it was floating enough, same with the paddles. with a little less friction and some speed clipping this could feel better. on another note, when the game resets after a shot you should put the enemy goalie back into the goal and not lerping back allowing for an easy score.

I love the music! Sometimes you can pass through the puck if you're too fast, but other than that the controls were really smooth and nice! Great job!

This is pretty good. I like the simple aesthetic of the graphics. The physics collisions do have some issues but otherwise really solid.

Yeah, the theme was pretty rough this time around, but this game is smooth! Excellent work keep it up! :)

The AI was good as others have pointed out, also the moving over the puck too fast not registering a hit. Would like to see this as a two player android port.

Nice game, great aesthetics! Got a minor issue when I moved the player's (puck
control thing - word fail me haha) massively quickly over the puck (it just went through).
