I released Pong Extreme 1.1 recently. It is a pong game with a twist. I thought it would be fun to remake the oldest video game and add few things to it. I need some feed back on this first game I made for iPhone.

Please let the others know that you had used a certain promo code when you take it.

    My first bit of advice would be that your icon is pretty much impossible to read :(

    It's always helpful to add a link to your app when announcing.

    @ 1Up, you go to iTunes App Store and at the bottom of the page you will see some text links in columns. Under the "Manage" column, you will see the "Redeem" link. Be aware that promo codes are only good for US iTunes accounts.

    I grabbed ETHW6AAFMY3K, will drop a review this evening.

    I'm old enough to remember the original Pong... my first video game console back in the mid 70s. This looks interesting with the additions of gravity and astroids. I'll agree that your icon could be improved for your next update. You really have to think about how they read when displayed at 57 pixels.

    sceura I grabbed the XKEPEKFHMMP9 code and play it for a while.
    Here is what I noticed:
    In level 0, There is no way to affect the direction of the ball with the pad. if you hit the ball or if it get to the point were the ball is traveling horizontal with almost not incline or decline you can be there forever like right now I been writing this while the game is playing along. You can play only if the serving is diagonal and the ball bounces with any wall.
    THE LEVELS 1 to 3 ARE AWESOME...
    So if I were you I will remove that level 0 because I think some people can play it and get disappointed and put it away without knowing what great game they are missing...
    Congrats and Good Luck

    As per your advice, I had done the following.

    -Change the icon to make the name more visible.
    -Removed level 0

    The 1.2 is on review. I also added a new level.

    How do I make the paddle to be able to change direction of the ball due to velocity of the paddle during collision??

    Thank you for your help.

    hi sceura:
    I noticed using the the basic table tennis that GS puts on their page that if you increase the friction on the pad you may affect the direction of the ball if the pad is moving at the moment of impact. If you do make it happen you don't have to eliminate level 0, for the ones who wants to play a simple regular ping pong game. But you need to change it because in level 3 it happened again. There was a point that if the ball is traveling on top of the green vortex it will start to move from one side to the other and you don't even has to touch the pad.
