Well this game was based on an old idea I had but never got around to making it. Along came a 7 game 7 days challenge from my school and I thought I'd go ahead and dig this project back up. This was number 4. I had other things to do during my break sooooo yea..

ANYWAYS...

The basic idea:
Get your opponents HP down to zero.
How?
-Knock the ball to the opposing side. The damage is dictated by the number in the center.
-Shoot lasers. Hitting the crystal will cause your opponent to lose life.
-Shooting the super charged laser (glow white when it is charged, next click fires)

Controls:
Mouse for single player. Click to shoot
wad keyboard for vs or arrows. D or Left to shoot
You can change this in freeplay.

Tips:
Your laser will lock down the opponent's paddle. This is important.
The shield can block laser shots. You will gain a bit of shielding from powerups and when you're on your home turf. *Shields strength is numerical, meaning if its higher in strength it can take more hits.
The super charge laser will break through your shield.
You can curve the ball.

-Keep an eye out for visual queues (ie: the brightness of shield for strength)
-------------------------
-------------------------
Realized there are a few too many "battle pongs" (working on another title -_-)
*Edit: added additional notes
**Edit: Slight graphics update.
-Also, space key is used for super shot for mouse, A for wasd keyboard, and RIGHT for arrows
-Oh, and constructive criticism is appreciated!

Nice

I enjoyed it. the concept was pretty original. A few more powerups couldn't hurt to add diversity

SmakDaBunny responds:

Hmm... diversity... yess....
:D

First of all,..with apoligies to the author...

...don't listen to idiots that say stuff like stop making pong games. I have been gaming since the very first console I ever owned. Pong from Consumers in 74 or five. You did enough to make it interesting and I applaud the effort.

SmakDaBunny responds:

=)
Thanks for your support!

Pong

The basic of the game was a good idea, a new version of pong with upgrades. But pong is a way past dead game. Still it was a good attempt to bring back the dead

SmakDaBunny responds:

yeaaa =/
I'll probably turn it into its own thing soon...
:D

needs a way to change controls

the mouse control was way too slow. the paddle just couldn't keep up with my mouse
keyboard controls felt awkard
Good game, but needs a way to change the controls, and maybe make the paddle follow the mouse faster

SmakDaBunny responds:

Well the mouse is suppose to lag a bit, and being hit is suppose to slow you down.
As for the keyboard, yea I know what you mean. I'm trying to figure out a good way to implement that. The game was kinda meant for play with the mouse (keyboard can't be nearly as responsive)

JUST STOP!!!!

PONG IS DEAD!!!! PLEASE STOP MAKING PONG RIPOFFS!!!!!!!

SmakDaBunny responds:

Cept every game is a ripoff offa other games just slapped with other ideas. sooo yea.
:D
