Space Pong Invaders

Welcome Space traveler !

Here you need to kill all the enemies alone or with your friends !

:bustinsilhouette: Alone? Don't worry! The Paddle have an auto-control!

:boom: More enemy killed => More point for you!

Our game also include :

Really fun when playing with a friend ! I love the mashup between pong and space invaders. Really good game.

I didn't get to play with a friend, but solo worked pretty well! I wish that if the ball hits the ship, it would just bounce off instead of killing the player. Also, it might be because I'm in the US, but the controls were a little weird for me. I'm used to WASD for movement, would be useful to be able to switch those keybindings in an option menu. Overall, I though the mood was great, the game played well, and it was fun!

Awesome, there's never enough local coop games, especially interesting ones! Wouldn't say that it strongly fits the theme, as it is more of a combination of superclassic, than incompatible genres, but doesn't really matter to me when it's fun! :)

I like the idea of this but I struggled to play because I have a QWERTY keyboard :frowning2:

If you add this in I will be happy to take another look!

Nice game! I found the ZQSD comtrols awkward (being on a WASD keyboard), but other than that hte game was great and creative! Good job!

Wooooow, my mind just went for a walk. I'm a QWERTZ user, but that's the same as QWERTY with Y and Z swapped. Would be neat if you could figure out how to freeze it for other systems (that might not have JRE installed).

The controls are a bit weird for QWERTZ users

Very clean mix of the 2 genres. I thought everything worked well and was polished enough. It could have been frustrating but actually felt nice and slick. Good job.

The ZQSD key setup didn't work for me well as I'm a bit confused at how to play it... Nice concept, still!
