Salamanda Ball

I like the idea you had, but I did not like how painfully precise I had to be for some shots. When the ball is going 4x fast, and I jump, only for the ball to pass under me as I slowly fall down, having hit that sweet spot between my walking and jumping positions... It is frustrating, especially at 5 points. It was fun, but too short to enjoy for long with minimal replayability.

The game itself is pretty much Pong where you choose one of three positions and the movement handles the areas in between. I felt like the hitbox was bigger than the actual character. Otherwise, the gameplay is too simple to mess up. The visuals and soundtrack are definitely the most unique features of this game, and they're not necessarily my thing, but I can see how folks would enjoy it. -/u/Veketshian

It's similar to PONG but that's not a bad thing. The game is great it doesn't have any bugs or glitches from what I've played. The music is good! AoT looking things in the background! This is a great start if this is your first game.

I think there could be improvements. It sucks when you don't have a chance to hit the ball back because you accidentally tap, and then have to start from 0 again. Music is fun though I think it doesnt really add a theme to the game. It would be cool if there was some more back story on the game, because the character and environment designs are really good and interesting, so why not have some story for it as well! All in all I enjoy what you have here!

Love the great twist on an original Pong game. However, without incentive or guidance through the game and no penalties for losing other than you start at 0 points, the game just feels like it is lacking something. I would definitely play this once it is more developed though.

I thought it was pretty well made and I liked the music and the art style. I also think it could use another mode, and possibly some sound effects. There was also a glitch when you landed on the ball, that mad you and the ball get stuck on the ground. But overall I enjoyed it:)

This is a game that you can play. The controls are ok, but it's kind of strange. You can double jump, but it's only needed for a very small window, so it either needed more room to jump, or less room with no double jump.

As for the game, kinda pong ish. Would be nice if tapping the left side of the screen allowed up to descend faster (for when we miss calculate and jump when we really shouldn't). But yeah.. Visuals nice/weird, soundtrack is fitting... u/SirScotalot88

Simple app. Fun game. What a greay way to promote your music- wish others did things like this! /u/Zalck

Game play is good, but just the music without sound effects is annoying to me. Just my opinion on it.

Basically edgy pong. Could use some sound effects though other than just background music (which is pretty slick by the way) /u/sonicfan09

This game hooked me in as I like Pong, and the music is great. This game has the chance to turn out really well, but it could use some touches here and there.

Reddit name: LazyReptile --- The game is pretty addicting, and the music is good too. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because of the lack of sound effects. Very good game, and fun to play!

The game play is pretty decent as it's essentially Pong, but the visuals separate it from regular Pong and the soundtrack is what makes it. It'll be a game I open up and play every once in a while. Nice job!

I liked it although I felt it was too easy to get into the same exact pattern over and over again. Also I feel like the game should have a game over somewhere but other then that very fun.

It was alright, the gameplay itself can use touching up but the background looks nice. I was a bit confused by like what the point of the flying head is. There's probably a background story behind everything from the characters to the background that hasn't been really made well known but I think you're on your way to a decent game

As free games go, this is a pretty good one. This is a pong style game with pretty cool music, although I wish it would have had some sound effects, and maybe a couple of extra game modes. Some kind of multiplayer competitive mode would be really great. Still, the game is fun and solid for what it is. I really liked the art style. -r/fillben

For a pong-esque game, it's fairly simple. Tap to jump, and double tap to double jump. After that, just make sure the ball doesn't go behind you and try to make it go past your opponent. Past that, the game doesn't offer very much. The gameplay quickly turns repetitive and bland, and the soundtrack doesn't lend itself well to the game. I really liked the visuals, they were very well done, but the rest of the game needs a lot of polish and some new game mechanics. /u/definitelyawizardbro

First of all, the soundtrack is very well done. It definitely "feels right" for the action of the game, and is fairly interesting to listen to alone as well. The game in itself is not bad; it's a visually-more-intense version of Pong, with a few other changes to gameplay. However, it is fairly simple and can become very repetitive after a short time. As a suggestion (if this app receives updates) would be to add more dynamic changes to the gameplay (scale, abilities, speed, etc) to keep the gameplay fresh.

OK, I'm gonna be real here, it need some work. First, I'll start with a major issue. If you jump onto the ball when it's near the ground, the ball will get stuck and you will get stuck in the attacking animation. You can escape this if you jump, but you're stuck rather indefinitely if you double jumped. This left a sort of sour taste in my mouth since it happened on the first turn of my first game. However, the glitch fixed itself after about a minute, but happened thrice :/. It's too simple, right now it's just pong, it's boring. You should add some stuff to spice it up. Now, onto the nitpicky things: I would prefer Screen rotation to be available, since atm I cannot play in the usual way I hold my phone. You don't have to change this, as it's really just a nitpick. As far as I can tell, there's no way to lose, which just adds to the boredom for me. Honestly, I didn't enjoy it at all, I've only played about 15 minutes, but I can't even bare to play it any longer. I respect it though, maybe I'll come back to it if you fix some of the flaws. The art is pretty good, so I'll give you that. The music is nice as well, but I'm not really a music man.

It's visually a beautiful game with a very unique landscape and characters. I really like how the orb increases in speed so quickly, making it really hard to maintain your score. The music itself is really nice too and fits the abstract world. Shame the game is really just a pretty pong, but I'm assuming this is a first game.

It's a great time wasting activity and if you have your volume up there is some nice music to accompany it. The gameplay is detailed as having a basic jump and a double jump to hit the ball. The double jump mechanic is basically useless as the single jump will deflect balls completely. Timing can be an issue at higher gameplay speeds, as you must guess the trajectory in order to jump to the correct height in time. Music is same track on loop. Art and backgrounds are nice and interesting

I enjoyed the game and the art style and would like to know more about where the ideas characters backgrounds and even the music was derived or inspired from. It reminds me of a few different animes. Thanks gameplay itself is addictive and fun and I appreciate the simplicity of it. However I recommend if there are in fact future updates planned that you continue to build onto it for replay value perhapes power how or game changers like 2 balls. Overall good game. -/u/dapperkitty

This is a neat game! The art is pretty cool, and the music is nice too. There's even a sort of music player in the pause menu, which is a feature I wish more games had. My only suggestion might be to add a sound for hitting the ball back and forth. Overall quite an entertaining game. -u/re_fract

It's pretty fun. The art style is strange and that's what I like the most. I could play a few rounds on the toilet. /u/begadin

from u/zatOMG on reddit: simple game, but controls make it easy to get addicted. Music is good, not a fan of the vocals all the time but when you nail it you really nail it. The artsyle reminds me of oil painting Attack on Tiran hybrid style stuff- really cool. Keep me updated on your upcoming projects! 4 stars!!!

Currently it is just fancy pong. I would add at least some bonus effects like a faster ball speed or a time slow. I would also add a storyline and bosses that do special Boss attacks and you lose a life every time the ball passes you.

It's pretty addicting and the artwork is nice. But yes it's pretty much just pong with better music, also amiibo are cool

Although this game is simple it's pretty fun and good, took the idea of pong to the NEXT level. I'm enjoying playing it and the music is just awesome thumbs up! my nick is Joepassive btw ;)

It's basically pong, only you play as a half naked pheonix wright smacking an energy ball at something that looks like it came from an early final fantasy game. The game looks good and the controls work well, but it's extremely repetetive and there is no goal to speak of. Some challenges or possibly other game modes, like a ricochet puzzle mode or something else that gives you a clear end goal would make it a lot better.

Fun and challenging. The soundtrack allows me to continue playig the game despite losing a streak of wins

I liked the sound track, felt intense at times. Like a war was going on. My favorite part was to get to roll on the ball. - u/OrokanaMyuutsu

My new go to game while sitting on the toilet. 9/10

It's pretty fun once you get used to it. The art style is very interesting. I wonder what the back story may be?

I think there could be improvements. It sucks when you don't have a chance to hit the ball back because you accidentally tap, and then have to start from 0 again. Music is fun though I think it doesnt really add a theme to the game. It would be cool if there was some more back story on the game, because the character and environment designs are really good and interesting, so why not have some story for it as well! All in all I enjoy what you have here!
