Wow, very interesting concept. Kinda confusing, but cool

Absurdly good game for 48 hours. Visuals are super juicy and clean, gameplay is unique and addictive. Even the audio and music is awesome. Surprisingly intelligent AI as well.

SO CRAZY GOOD. I love the trails on the space ships and all of the particles So much detail. It's a well-rounded game from start to finish. The music is so catchy and the sound effects are just perfect! Love love love the start screen. It's beautiful and modern.

Otherwise good!

Ultra confusing at first, but super fun when you realize what is happening. Great great game. Good job!

It seem to have a little problem with the movements, sometimes it just don't move or move to a corner by itself.

Hey, this is really good. The movement, the music, the mechanics, the artwork, the bounce of the animation, all fantastic. Nice aesthetic with the colour palette too.

As others have said, very impressive for the 48 hours and great work altogether!

Woooow! This game is too awesome!
I really need to get together with some friends to play this in multiplayer.
It's great that you did an AI! It's probably way funnier with friends... but it was nice being able to play right alway. Also, the AI is challenging and fun!

Congrats! =D

Very nice! Love the art style, and the animations are great. Actually, pretty much everything about is game is awesome. Nice work.

Once I figured out I was competing AGAINST the AI, then everything made a lot more sense.

Well done! It's a simple and fun pong-like shooter. The pixel arts are really nice, esp. the special effects. I also like the title design.

The game mechanics works good and fits to the theme. At first I suppose those "missile spwaner" are power-ups and I try to eat them but failed. Maybe you could add more kinds of power-up items that make this game more intense. Overall I really enjoyed this. Thank you for making a good game!

Excellent game for 48 hours! Is "redshift" and "blueshift" an oblique reference to the doppler effect on light? 'Cause I love me some oblique references.

Took a little while to figure out what was going on but once it clicked I had a lot of fun. The colors and graphics are just plain cool and the music is good too.

It takes a second to get the idea of multiplayer shmup Breakout, but this game really sells it. Super-crunchy feel, good graphics and audio, and overall a high high level of polish.

Holy jeez was that good. Really polished and pretty and even had awesome music. Really good work! Just needs to convey what the objective is upfront and it is good to go.

bookmarked so I can pull that one when I have a friend at home.

It could use a tuto or instruction screen though

27. Aug 2014 · 20:16 UTC
Excellent work I really enjoyed this! Love the music and sfx, really juicy gameplay and I can imagine how playing against another person would be hilarious with the rocket spam haha :D Wasn't completely clear how far ahead the goal was or who was winning, but I really enjoyed the way the gameplay switched between the two hitherto unrelated styles

Great graphics, great music and great game overall! :D

To bad that controls seem a little bit tricky (key input is somehow lagging ) :(

Nice blend of two different genres. It can be a bit difficult to catch up to the ball sometimes.

Really beautiful game. Loved all the graphics. So clean and nice design. Love the name too

Other than a kind of weak use of the theme, this is quite literally the best thing ever. One of the most innovative ideas I've seen in a LD in a while.

I found this pretty tough in one player mode, but it feels like it would be a blast with two players. Great clean pixel art, good visual feedback and awesome chiptunage. Great job !

Very fun. Nice combo on pong/shmup games.

29. Aug 2014 · 20:34 UTC
Great idea for cross-over between to classic games. I had very little chance against the computer AI but that's really more cred to you for programming a good one. It feels like a great foundation to build a full game on.

30. Aug 2014 · 00:46 UTC
Great idea To connect 2 types of games! Please evolve it to something big.

I've never really seen a variation on the breakout/pong style game like this before. Pretty cool stuff. Played to Red Victory on single player on a Windows 7 Machine in Google Chrome. Worked great. Loved the soundtrack, too. Catchy tune!

Simple, therefore excellent multiplayer concept! A lot of potential, keep on the good work!

Cool art style and lovely idea for this theme :D
I'm impressed that you managed to deliver on all aspects of the game in just 48 hours. Great music, art and gameplay!

Hi there. Love the graphics and sound, explosions particularly. Found it a bit confusing in single-player. Good job!

Great mix of shmup and pong! Also, I realy like how fast-paced it is, but the AI is merciless!
Sunflower
31. Aug 2014 · 16:10 UTC
Very solid entry, and somewhat entertaining once I got the hang of it. Bonus points for audio - if I say it reminds me of (early) Touhou, you're doing that right. ;)

Didn't have an opportunity to play it with two players... although I'm not quite feeling like doing that, anyway. ^^"
Pierrec
31. Aug 2014 · 19:13 UTC
This is really impressive. I'm really frustrated though because I only have ONE Xbox controller, and didn't manage to play 2 players with keyboard+controller...and the one player mode is really hard. Congrats!

01. Sep 2014 · 04:44 UTC
Holy crap this is absolutely amazing. It took me a bit to get the hang of the gameplay but once I was into it it was so much fun. I kinda wish there was some way to steal powerups from the other player but I have no idea if that could possibly be balanced, haha :P Amazing job on the graphics & music too, I love the 16-bit style & FM sound. One of the best LD entries I've ever seen - excellent work.

Really great breakout/shmup combination, had a good "gamefeel" with all the screenshake/freeze frame etc.
Could have used more mechanics that directly impacted the enemy player.

Wow this is quite impressive. Single player option is awesome to have. Everything looks and functions properly. I think there was a little bit of lag on my browser though.

Even though I had no one to play with, the AI proved to be quite capable. Really nice game, it pushes all the right buttons. That juicyness makes the gameplay feel sooooo good.
