Pongo! Paddle Pals!

Still needs a lot of touchups considering its early release (which is albeit understandable, yet definitely needed more time in the oven). The recent sizeable patch nearly 1 day into release made it clear that the dev is trying hard to make it good. As for the game itself, the characters (or, paddles,) are all fairly unique in their own way and you can definitely spec into different builds. I think they're definitely needs to be more noticeable visual impact for these builds, but definitely fun nonetheless in terms of gameplay. It's a good unique spin on Pong, and would love to see more updates as time passes and see this game become something grandeous.

I love when someone gets into the new developer game. It's honorable and worth a try. I played Pong back in the 70's with a paddle. Was it fun? Not really, you played it for 5 minutes or less, but preferred a game of Pachinko. This game may have had a lot of work put into it with it's roguelite upgrades, but it's broken because we're not playing with a paddle. Instead you're forced to move the paddle with W and S. It feels so awkward tbh. Now, this game has been out for 2 months, and I would never give a negative review for a new dev that just released a game, but this has been out since July, and still no controller support. The price is high as well. Good luck on your endeavors as a new dev, but this game is unplayable without XBox controller support. I get the concept though. Nice effort. Could be a lot better using a controller. I see the draw of it all. DEMO AVAILABLE. Play the demo.
