Sorry, but this game still seems to be broken, even changing it so that the ball moves... And I can't say it's innovative, because it's basically Pong. Sorry...

Great Idea. Nice and simple. Could use some sort of buildup, though. Like maybe the ball increases speed?

Fun game to play.

The good old pong game. Some more detailed graphics and some powerups would have made the game more interesting.

It's an old idea with a twist - a very old idea, actually. Pong doesn't get very much more interesting even with the different control scheme, but it's a nice look into videogame history.

A fun and addicting game I've enjoyed playing with my siblings.

Interesting twist on Pong, but unfortunately the game is slightly spoiled by three production problems. You need two players, it won't run on Linux (case sensitivity problem), and the ball can end up bouncing vertically, forcing a restart.

The game wouldn't run because of capitalization of the sound files was wrong. Once I fixed that I couldn't work out how to start the game.

The game is cearly undeveloped!

The game-logic was interesting but the game needed more time.

What a wacky variation on pong! :)

We've seen this type of game very often and the steam aspect doesn't make it much better.
Anyways, it's playable and the known, but addictive concept makes you play it for some time.

maybe this game concept could be good with a great gameplay implementation.

Ball wasn't moving. Finding a new way to play Pong is commendable.

An interesting concept. ALso, a game where you just push one button! But a lot more could be sone with something like this then we see here.

For this to be fun, the steam would have to be more powerful. Nice idea though.

Bugs: the "speed at 0" bug you noted earlier, and you need to change the directory names to lowercase in order to get the game working on Linux. (Also, you were supposed to include a readme.)

Improvements: I suggest getting a better steam effect, as it's got a rather "MS-Paint" look to it. Now that the compo is over, you may want to just grab an effect from another entry...

This is Pong, except that you can only move your paddle upwards, and it keeps falling down. The ball also never changes course even if you hit it with the edge of your paddle, which means that sometimes it just bounces from left to right without even hitting the walls, making the game even more boring than the original Pong. Sometimes it actually just bounces up and down in the center, basically jamming the game.

unique twist on pong :) also, please make sure that next time your dir-names are capitalized
the same in the code as on the file system. linux users have to rename everything to play this
game :)

Quite a nice idea, but in practice not really very playable.

Not an overly complex game and doesn't seem balanced even with the speed tweak sugested. Bonus points for sound :)
