> It's pong, but with dashing and curveballs

Curve Pong is a tron-style remix of pong, focused on fast gameplay and juice. The rules of normal pong still apply - however, the arena removes the floor and ceiling, stretching up and down into distant goals. The game is simple: get the ball to the other side, whether that means left/right or up/down. Add in a dash, a charge-shot, and curveballs, and... well, I think you get the picture ;3

Awesome Game. Enjoyed the overall concept and gameplay. really enjoyed the 10 seconds factor you implemented in the game. A little more work from the SFX sides would have done wonder. But still a great job keep it up. Please do check out my submission as well.
