The Debate by KevinWorkman
It's pong between Darwin and Jesus. The winner finally decides the debate between science and religion.
I only had 4 hours to start and finish my game, so I stuck with something super simple. Hopefully it still says a little something about the conversation to whoever plays it.
So sit back, read some interesting quotes from each side, and reflect on the ridiculousness of it all.

My favorite quote was "Roar"
This is a very good idea for a 4 hour entry. Science and religion ping-ponging with quotes. I like it. What is surprising is that you implemented momentum for the paddles. It's nicely implemented but it just make me loose every single time. There should be an option to select sides!
Btw, the description on your site says 'A' and 'S' not 'A' and 'X'.
And that AI is really hard D:
On non-game-design-matters, I don't think Campbell's quotes really belong to the religions' side, since his ultimate meaning is that 'god' or 'spiritual' are just ways to understand what is beyond rational understanding, but if these things really exist or not are a matter or personal faith. I think he should be in the middle. And I'd love to hug him. hahaha
Oh, and the dinossaur's quote is AWESOME, really got me laughing here!
But here's the greatest thing: most people make excuses to not participate in Ludum Dare. You actually dedicated the 4 hours you could in the jam time and did *something*. That's the right attitude man, you have my respect! ;)
Just like in any real debate, having an argument at the precise moment and saying it with conviction works, even if the argument doesn't make sense.
