Notpong by vegard1992
Pong, Pacman, Powerups, Pressure, Politics, Push-ups, Pastries. In decreasing order of relevance. Kick your friends butt, kick the ghosts butts', kick butts! In the essence of projectile-fighter style games is born a new video game more related to pong and less related to pacman (seems oddly familiar to a certain game - that gathered some attention - submitted for a certain competition), with none of the fun of either - only gut-wrenching intensity and tummy-upsetting high speeds. The quintessence of competition, delivered at light-speed (really though; just a silly game).
2-player game!
Player 1: WASD
Player 2: Keys
Don't let the meter fall to 0 on your side!

Unfortunately i don't think you can use those assets you used in the compo.
Took me a bit to figure out what was going on, but it's an interesting variant of Pong. The Lethal League-esque hitstun made it easier to time putting up shields etc. Good effort!
I used python/pygame @filippy
Congratulations on making a complete game!
Remember it's a two-player game friends!
Simply, too fast.
This game is too fast to understand anything. Both players ended pressing the directions wishing to win. Also, the game starts and ends abruptly, without any kind of pause to get ready.
