What do you think?

Interesting twist on an old classic. The multiple balls and fractional scoring make for occasional crazy ass situations! Great effort for your first submission.

Endless Wet Mist (by Qwak)
 

My first game for GameJolt!

This is qPong, a "quantum" version of Pong. Inspired by a real life algorithm used for scientific simulations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_integral_molecular_dynamics), this game tries to introduce some randomness in the classic game Pong!

There are now 8 balls, whose motion is rather chaotic. Their speed is controlled by a temperature: as the game goes on it heats up and the balls move faster! Every time you can't catch a ball it passes you and increases your partial score (the one in angle brackets, top corners). When only one ball is left, the rackets freeze; after that, the winner of the set is sorted with a probability proportional to the balls he didn't lose (so if you want to be sure to win, you need to get your adversary lose ALL 8 BALLS). After 3 sets, the match is decided!

  • Controls: W and S for player 1, Up and Down for player 2 (if present)
