Share My Creation [Game] Pong Defense!

Hi all,

Here is a new game I've just released on the market.

It is a simple implementation of the pong game. Stole the controls idea from Erel's arkanoid game though (hey that control style is really nice!!)

You control all 4 paddles with your taps / drags on the screen. The idea is to keep the ball in play for as long as possible.

Future implementations would have sounds, vibration, better visual effects and maybe some distractions / enemies on screen.

APK attached..

Have fun!

That looks tricky, but i think i've seen such game before on the market.

Hi Kamac,

Yeah, it is way tricky . Will be cracking my head to come up with more challenges on it as it progresses.

Cheers!

By the way, what resolutions does it support?

 

[ssg]

"theoretically" it should support any resolution.. i've tried on 320X480... if anyone could test out on any other resolutions, please do provide some feedback if it runs fine.

mucho appreciato!

cheers!

Works just dandy on my SGS (480*800).

Pretty nifty wee game. One thing though, the background really isn't pleasant to look at.

Nice work. Whats that font you are using?
Do you know of any other good resources for games?
Thanks!

 

[ssg]

Thanks for the feedback... and some resources for all!

Hi admac231,

Thank you very much for helping to test it out. And for your feedback too! I should have listened to my QA fellas (free testers a.k.a. friends ) but I insisted that I wanted to have a unique looking game.

But the feedback overall has been many complained about the background. It will be changed in the next update. Again.. thank you very much!!
