One Player Pong by napoleon89

made by napoleon89 for LD28 (COMPO)

Hey everyone, this is my game, One Player Pong.
I found this theme lightly difficult to come up with something interesting based off of it, but I made this simple concept in the end.
If it doesn't open, or just crashes on startup, please comment down below and I should be able to help you!

(In the ZIP open the setup.exe, it should create a start menu shortcut if you want to access it later)

Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly Microsoft.Xna.Framework.GamerServices Version 4.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first.

Sorry T_T

I think I have seen something similar before, regardless I like it!

I am actually surprised by how much I liked this. Very clean, well done. :)

Why does something that simple need an installer?

Simple and definitely challenging with multiple balls. It would've been nice to see the expected paddle physics.

Just a heads up, people don't tend to like installing games for Ludum Dares. For an XNA game you can go into your project folder/bin/x86/Debug and take the .exe and content stuff from there and put into a zip so that people can play without installing. Other than that, interesting use of the theme, and pretty fun for a simple game. :)

Could you upload a version without the installer?

guys, the reason it has the installer is because it was made in XNA and requires the XNA framework stuff, sorry :( I'm hopefully going to be using something different next time

Cool idea--wish it would've been a bit faster paced. Didn't want to wait the full 20 sec for a new ball to arrive.
