Gnop - Old Mini LD Entry

[bgordebak]

Gnop is a rapid prototype made some time ago for a MiniLD game jam with a theme of Pong. While the name isn't very original, I think the game kinda is. It was made in under two hours. Edit: The game is also on itch.io

It's like Pong, but instead of two paddles controlling one ball, there's one paddle controlling two balls. The balls are gaining speed every ten seconds, so you're trying to survive as long as possible. Use your mouse to move the paddle.

If you survive more than 50 seconds, "Nice job!"
If you survive more than 80 seconds, "You're a great player!"
If you survive more than 100 seconds, "Truly wonderful!"
I wasn't sure if "Truly wonderful!" was humanly possible, but now I can confirm that "Truly wonderful!" is possible. I made 101 seconds once.

Legit though, not bad! After my first try I couldn't get past like 90

Thanks for trying the game! 101 seconds on the first try is pretty impressive!

Nice! I'm pretty sure I saw this game before - Pongnop, in an old flash game site Kchamp.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that game. Yeah, it's pretty similar. Thanks for trying the game.
