Dodge Pong is a simple arcade game, like Asteroids or Pong.
How to play:
Hit the ball to score points.
Get hit by the ball and that's game over.
Controls:
Moving: Arrow keys
Swing racket: D key
New game: N key
Pause: ESC
Scoring:
The bar at the top of the game shows your score in this order (from when a new game started until you get hit)
Score points - The points you earned
Accuracy - number of times you hit a ball / number of times you tried to hit a ball
Streak - Number of times you hit a ball without missing
Time - How long have you been playing for

Fun game! I would've liked a highscore. Now I don't know what my best try was. Also the controls D and N are a bit of a weird choice, but whatever.
I like the part where you chase the ball before realising you should estimate where it will bounce!
Nice concept, works well! It was hard to play, but also a lot of fun.
So addictive and funny! it makes you to want to play more and more. Physics are sooo cool, really, and ball particles too.
Well executed and addictive little game! I love the movement of the ball with edge-hits of the bat.
1 request, could you add a hold-and-charge move that does a big hit or a wider swing? would add some variety to it :D
As an avid player who loves the Dodge Pong genre, I'd have to say your game does not meet my standards. In fact, your game does not even follow the convenient guidelines that many successful Dodge Pong predecessors have set. I am extremely disappointed, and your 2D Waifu would cry if she knew you made this.
Nice concept, I like the idea of bouncing balls to get points. Good job
Really good arcade game. The addictive ones. Movement are a bit tricky at start but you finally get used to it.
I really like the weirds effects the ball can have. Sometimes it just spin around me and I don't know what direction to face.
The precision meter is a nice feature, it remind you how much you suck at touching the ball :)
That's a really fun and addictive game, simple and fun.
superfun, superb in its simplicity...like the effect speeds bends you sometimes see when hitting the ball, this would be a nice feature to have maybe.
Wow, this is fun :)
Physics make this addictive and once I mastered (or at lest got used to) the controls, it lived up to it's potential.
I still suck at the game, though.
My high score is 16890. Very fun, reminded me a little of the bonus levels from shatter. If got nothing critical other than maybe adding some intense music to make it that more frantic. Nicely done.
Simple and could be even more fun with some tweaking, go for it!
Nice mechanics! Feels really solid, although I have no idea what causes the ball to curve. ^^

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
That's a pretty unique concept you got here. And it works well. Nice work !
