Hi Wade, |
|||
Enjoyed demonstration of your 3dpong. Just had one comment, regarding the flash of light when the player scores, i've read flashes of light from a computer screen could trigger epileptic seizures, recommend use of sound effect rather than the light flash. thanks, bonnie. |
|||
Bounce was initially called 3dpong, and was written during the 2007 Boston Game Jam where it took second prize. |
|||
Thanks! I'll adjust it to use a different graphic effect, and add a sound effect too. That's a really good point. --Wade |

Multiplayer
Cool game :) . Would be nice to be able to play multiplayer with other XO's. Each Paddle could even take on the XO colors (not the inside, since they must be transparent).HoboPrimate 04:20, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

Sweet spot
If the ball hits near the center of the paddle, it should return a faster ball? Also, if the ball hits near the edge, it could return the ball in more steep angle, etc.
The Sugar Frame
Often times I move the cursor to the corner and the annoying Sugar Frame pops up. Obviously it isn't the fault of Bounce, but it would be nice if we can disable the frame popping up (or making the play area smaller).
the default "Deep" stage
It almost appears that it is unwinnable. And the ball appears to be stuck in a cycle where I don't have to move the paddle for a while and keep hitting the ball. You have editting so it is a minor issue, but it would be nice if the pre-made ones are winnable.
