Reviews for "below average pong game"

Average.

Pong is a pretty basic game and this rendition covers most of the basic angles.

The artistic style is pretty neat, but the sound leaves a lot to be desired. A crunching bone sound or crackling fire ambiance or something would have been nice.

I also noticed that you can sit in one spot and win. It might be better if the skull started at different random angles when it appears.

Overall, this is a neat idea ... even if Pong has been done to death already. (Ha ha)

SPLANKGY responds:

yup. i guess i didn't really think this
one through all too much. thanks tho!

very good

you worked hard on this good job

SPLANKGY responds:

thank you.

Good pong...

I myself made a table tennis-esque game. It was bloody hard to make - I think this system could be improved somewhat- and even though you probably know your problem do to with the bone-thing, I *might* have some input that could help...

Basically, I assume you're using a standard hittest with the ball and the 2 paddles - and the ball changes angle according to the Y coordinate values. Well basically, if the X coordinate values are too high (i.e. the ball goes too fast) - sometimes the ball will "skip" past the width of the paddle and not count it as a "hit". 2 ways to solve this - 1) you could easily widen the paddle, i.e. make it THICKER not LONGER. 2) you could slow down the ball - but that'd make a boring game.

Other than that, I did like it... I wondered how you made your system capable of changing angles of hitting the ball - the way I done it was a bit poor, I cut the paddle into segments, each corresponding to a different coordinate changing value (or "angle") when a hit test is run... a bit simplistic, so I'd be interested to see if you did it differently, or more accurately, better!

Sorry - I got carried away there. Good gaem, you get 3 from me.

SPLANKGY responds:

thanks for such an in depth review!
kudos to you, and thanks from me!

wow i noticed you replied to alot of your reviews

you should stop what you are doing at this very moment and hang yourself. i'm sorry, but you need to die for your crimes against pong. but overall i'd say it was a decent game if you fix those bone paddles everyone has been talking about. and do it before you commit suicide. now raise your right hand......i whatever your name is promise to commit suicide.

SPLANKGY responds:

no, i am the having the most fun!

oh, and my laser is cosmic!

My god... A GOOD PONG ADAPTATION!

The only visible problem is that 33% of the time, the skull went through my paddle, and it also happened to the other guy. Hell, I vote 5.
