PING PONG!Do you have what it takes to beat four opponents? Are you ready to go face to face with a friend to see who's the ultimate champion of ping pong? Prepare yourself to be blown away by this incredible sports simulation, unlike anything you've ever played before! Ping Pong rules:1. When you hit the ball it has to go to other player's side of the net before it bounces. 2. If the ball leaves the table without bouncing, the player who did not send it off gets a point. 3. Two serves each. 4. First to eleven wins. Instructions:-Press z when the ball touches you to hit it -You can hold the arrow keys for different hits -Right to smash -Left for less speed -Up for spinn to make the ball go faster after the bounce -Down for spinn to make the ball go slower after the bounce -Hit the ball seven times in a row to do super smash IMPORTANT!!! HITTING THE BALL WILL ONLY CHANGE IT'S HORIZONTAL VELOCITY, IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE BALLS VERTICAL SPEED!

... There's going to be a catch... Downloading...
Well, it certainly is better than PONG. I actually kinda enjoyed this, I'm terrible at it though!
:D

I had trouble with the training part on smashes ... I kept smashing it out of bounds?
It seems pretty hard to read how the ball is moving and what the right move is. I'll probably have to play it more to really tell if that's bad, though! All I can say now is it seems like there's a steep learning curve.

I'd like to know, before I download if at any point in the game you get to participate in the strip show variety of ping-pong.

In the next version you're going to include it as a super secret hidden stage, right?

I really love this game; didn't enjoy it that much at first, but once you get the feel of it, its a really blast to play!
That said, this is the only sports game I've played in years, so I think a sports compo is a pretty bad idea, unless we indie-fy it by saying something like "make up a crazy sport and make a game for that crazy sport," to keep things on the crazier side.

Or you could do something like obscure sports or weird original versions of sports, such as how soccer originally involved kicking around a pig's bladder. |

...a Calvinball compo? On-topic: This game is pretty good; the retro look and music fits perfectly.  The learning curve is a bit steep, though.  |

This game is the best ping pong game I've played since the dawn of time.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys    The learning curve is a bit steep, though. Much too steep? Or is it steep in an ok way? |

YEAH OF COURSE Do you imagine a TIGS sport compo would be entirely first degree Jeeeeezzz oh you guys In 2008 we got the awesome QWOP. Can't you imagine the awesomeness that a sport compo would be? |

I think you distilled the essence of ping pong nicely. The twitch mechanics and subtlety of shots feel good.
Now, to not suck at it...

I think that took me about 15-20 minutes of frustration; but man, when you get good it's so satisfying!  Yeah cactus, the learning curve isn't great, but I don't think you should try and tweak it at all, because once you've picked it up that game is an absolute blast to play!  |
