Indifferent Pong

The game was created as part of the Selectel Retro Game Jam ’21. Our team took 2nd place.

According to the jam rules, each team was given a personal assignment. We had to implement a unique combination of three elements: a retro game, a style, and an emotion. We got:

• Retro game: Pong

• Style: Cartoon

• Emotion: Indifference

Rules:

• Play Pong;

• Avoid obstacles;

• Don’t pick up flyers (or pick them up… we don’t really care…);

• In Pong, victory increases the “indifference” meter, defeat decreases it;

• Picking up a flyer decreases indifference;

• The game ends if the “indifference” meter is either completely empty or completely full.

Controls:

• A / D (← / →) — move the player

• ↑ / ↓ — move the paddle

• Space — start moving, launch the ball in Pong
