Just bought for MacOS and the download I received was for Windows.

Hi.

@PitchBlack, I tried the game and have found it's not my kind of thing but I'm glad I payed for it to help you guys out.

Hi Dark! That's great feedback, thanks so much for taking the time to give feedback with such detail. Once we've collated all of the feedback from players, we'll be updating the game (most likely a couple of weeks).

As regards difficulty levels- there are five opponents at difficulty level one, which you cycle through if you lose, if you win, you go up the difficulty level, at which point you're on a linear progression of opponents- Archie (woman in the bar), Finn (Irish guy), The Director (posh sounding crazy guy), The Emperor (German sound evil guy). If you lose, you go back to the start, the goal is to beat The Emperor. When you do, it'll play against him until you lose.

The clack sound is you hitting the ball.

Hi Kyle

Odd, that's happened to a few people but not when we test here. What's your e-mail? I'll send you a direct download link for Mac .

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

If this release goes really well, we're considering Audio Pong 2 for a few months down the line.. featuring multiplayer. But it's gotta seem viable, as we've got 'THE' release set for October and it'd mean putting off some other planned smaller games.

Cheers guys and gals! So lovely to be involved in the community.

Yep! That's my bad. It's a left over from the PC build. It's meant to say 'Double Tap'. We'll be fixing it in the update.

All the best

I just bought the android version of the game. Sound quality is top notch, and responsiveness is also pretty good. I am curious though as to how wide the paddle is. I appreciate the hit range of the paddle being a little forgiving, though I kinda wish you could control the rate at which it moves sometimes. I also think that the game aught to have a proper ending, and an extra endless mode for those that want to keep playing. Perhaps some achievements as well, but for a first effort this is great, and I'm happy to have bought it in support of you all. Great job!

@Harry, that makes sense, though in that case then oddly enough it seems I hit the ball, and then it goes off to another direction and I lose, which is very odd.
Be that as it may, with what you've mentioned about the difficulty systen I have in that case managed to reach the emperor, ---- oh and I do agree with Slj that notes when you progress in difficulty, or maybe even a Vs screen with the opponent's name mentioned would be nice, especially since I gather these are characters in a larger story and universe, so knowing who they are might be helpful down the line.

@Slj, the only background I noticed as too loud on the pc version was the one I believe for the director, a sort of humming like a spaceship. I agree scoring and a tutorial where you could actually practice might be nice, though as it is the games' price is so low I don't mind as much, particularly since this is manifestly a first version and the game is going to be expanded or polished up, indeed I sort of got the impression the tutorial was sort of planned to be interactive anyway but perhaps due to time or resources constraints was released as an audio cut scene instead, something which might alter later.

@Dark, I trhink when the beeping is faster, the ball is coming closer to you, so that's when you should be trying to hit it.

I'm not super familiar with Pong, so I assumed that you're supposed to move the paddle so the ball is in the center. I'm having the same problem as a few others here though; the ball sounds doubled, and even when I center it, sometimes I still miss it. Ironically if I let it start out centered then sort of drift left or right, I hit it more often. So I'm not sure if your goal is to actually center the ball in your stereo field or if you're meant to put it somewhere else. Would really like to get it though since this does sound like it could be a lot of fun.

@musicalman, at the moment I couldn't be sure  who was hitting the ball when, so I just tried to keep it centred at all times which seems to work.
@Pitchblack, fair enough on the tutorial, but perhaps if not actually an interactive scene, some longer clips of gameplay might help, of course if the double effect and the issue with the ball randomly going off get fixed, this might not be necessary.

As regards price, I was quite happy myself with £1.99 for the game given the quality of the audio, and the number of lines for each character etc, after all, one track bought on Amazon would fetch that much and there is already that amount of audio in the game, I also gathered that this is very much a work in progress and an attempt to support future game development.

I will say, if the game had cost a fiver, I'd have been far more hesitant, since if I'm paying five quid for a game, something in terms of score and stat tracking which gives at least some idea of replay value might have been nice, but as it is, the small price tag was okay with me.

Great to get your thoughts. We're continuing to support the game. This isn't an official announcement yet, so keep it between friends, but we're looking at the possibility of multiplayer, and so being able to play against one another. Potentially with customisable paddle sounds.. but, I need to see if it's viable within a reasonable amount of time. If that is added, we might increase the price for new buyers, as there'll be server costs etc. associated with multiplayer, and the additional development time. Nevertheless, I think it'd be a great addition.

Thanks Dark! Love the write up.

All the best
Harry

i want this game to be on steam

Hi.
I wouldn't mind to pay more if multiplayer is going to be released.
