Since I haven’t programmed any game for quite a long time (almost a year actually) my target here was to get back into developing rather than putting together a really original game. Still, I tried to put as much polish as I could in this little game. Minor tweaks of various sort will come in the next few days after some playtesting with other players and possibly feedback.

Current mechanics:

• the paddles move along the circumference, the ball moves in straight lines
• when bouncing, the ball is affected by the speed of the paddle
• ball speed increases with time, so that there’s a physical limit to the duration of a set
• the paddle sizes are adjusted according to the difference of scores between players – the player with the higher score gets a smaller paddle, and vice versa

Planned mechanics (or: what I wish I could add but am not sure if I ever will)

• multiple balls
• 3 player mode
• a proper menu or something of that sort
• more visual effects (like, screenshakes and such)

Any feedback is warmly welcome.

Enjoy!
