pomg [browser]
You control the ball, not the paddle, in the pong world of the browser puzzle platformer pomg by Stuffed Wombat.
Good idea; horrible implementation. This ceased to be any fun at all after the first minute or so. Very repetitive, and then the controls stopped working.
Leslie, the gates will open after you have hit a certain wall or paddle three times on the screen. The spot you have to hit isn't necessarily obvious, but it will probably be a spot that is slightly tricky to hit. You know you are making progress when the little black lines within the gate start to clear. Note that there are initially 3 lines, and when you find the spot to hit, it will decrease to 2 and so on.
Yeah it isn't easy, but addictive and in my opinion very creative. I would like to see the lvl number and to have a possibiity to proceed later on without playing all the difficult stuff again and again.
I didn't manage the heart thing by now ... I'll keep the tab open for a new try after a little break;-)
I haven't finished yet. But - great! I really like the idea! Thx for sharing, Bart!! :)

ReplyDeleteA new take on a REALLY old classic! That was pretty inventive.
ReplyDeleteinteresting idea but in my opinion a litle bit too hard to play
