Reverse Pong!

Ever get frustrated by getting scored on in Pong? Now you get your shot to compete against your friends in scoring against the computer paddles! Be the first out of your friends to get enough goals to win in these fast-paced matches. This is all done through being able to coast your ball left or right some, and even speed up or slow down to allow for precision plays to score.

Early Game Art

Here are some early screenshots of the prototyping I've gotten done so far. Below is a first draft of the player lobby design where players will join and enter their name and select their ball color. Once everyone in the lobby is ready, the match will start!

The style and playability of the levels haven't been decided on, but to get functional mechanics working, the image below is a prototype of a level concept that will certainly be changed some once we can test it. The level is likely too small and does not yet contain any obstacles the players (the balls) will have to consider.

Part of a Game Expo!

I made Reverse Pong as part of Florida Polytechnic University's 2021 Virtual Game Expo. We all had about a month or less to design and develop a game while having the option to use assets such as models that weren't ours. The games will be published on April 23rd and will be ready to play. There are some great games being made, so be sure to support them by voting!
