I made this

I made a little computer game last weekend, and I thought I would share it here, as freeware.

It's a basic Pong game with a challenging but fallible AI opponent.

Windows only.

How do you download it, cant seem to find anyway.

At the bottom of the page where it says "Save file to your PC: click here"

It's a javascript action. Sorry for using an awkward file hosting service.


I've put it on filefront too, which is simpler:

Nice take on Pong, love the power ups like bigger pat, speedup, multiball.

As for the AI being fallible, what the hell, i was waiting for it to ask me if it wanted a game of "Global thermal nuclear war"....it hammered me 17 to 4....man that's one mean AI, all it needs is the AI to gloat as it kicks your ass.....when two balls appeared and one hit the speed powerup and we had small bats i thought my head would explode i was concentrating that much.

Anyway 10/10 for a nice take on pong...well done, nice effort.

My best score is a 15-20 loss, and around 12-20 normally. To get a ball past the AI you need to do risky high angle shots off the corner of your bat: shoot to one corner, then to the opposite corner of the goal.

The computer player moves at fixed speeds, so you have to give it a run it cannot do. The AI can't handle multi-ball and fast ball for the same reason

Brings back memories. Fun little game

Pretty solid game there Jadzia! I only played it for about a minute though, it's impossible on a laptop touchpad - just can't move like you need to. Good stuff.

My best score on it is somewhere near 2-20. I think I need a mousemat.

Very well made game, though.

downloading on my lunch break and will give it a go after work. Sounds fun

Played it now and I've got to agree it's HARD! Lol.
Very nice looking game but seen as I only got 2 to their 20 I'm not sure how often I'll be playing it
