KaPong!
A downloadable game for Windows
Made from
- Kaboom (Atari VCS)
- Combat (Atari VCS)
Pulling off the bouncing missile's movement was a real challenge for the devs in the VCS era, and its physics has its own quirks. I hope to bring those quirks to the forefront, by mapping them to controls in Kaboom. Plus, if hitting the blue tank with the missile only hurts your score, does the tiny dot still represent a missile? Interesting questions to ask.

daaamn this was wild.
i also am fascinated about this idea of using a game to control another game, took me a while to understand what was going on, but after that i started getting the hang of it. its cool how this makes you look at the space in the other game with a complete new lens, it becomes this second order space of how can i keep the paddle on top, or move it to the middle, coverting the 2d space of the tanks into this kinda rhythm-finding game. very cool
also, my high score is 33
