Although nowadays if people don't see a GitHub link they think there is no source code available.

#82You were one of my biggest inspirations for going into software engineering, I absolutely loved your website in high school and would always mess around with the source code to your games. Happy to see you’re still going!
This is awesome to hear! I stopped making games for a few years to focus on other things, but now I'd like to get back to it.

#83This is brilliant.

#85The highest I got was 20, having to stop as I could spend an hour on this.
Fun experiment for simple games like this: Play this game every day just for 5-10 rounds before bed and in the morning. You'll get a little better every time you get sleep.

#86This is awesome! I did however accidentally click on the links below the game, ruining my streak

#87This was pretty fun to play. Half way through the game I realised this was like flappy birds but within one screen. In saying that, this felt more fun to me because the space between each challenges was bigger, letting me I feel like I was more in control.
Yes, I was definitely inspired by Flappy Bird for this game. I could have called it Flappy Pong I guess.

#88Be careful, especially if you do anything commercial with this: "Pong" is trademarked by Atari. Fun game, but might need to choose a different name...
“Not Trademarked Pong” would be the snarky name for it. But probably wouldn’t hold up in court.

#89Hey! Your 12 games in 12 weeks thing (back in ...2014? Jesus, time flies) was what got me into HTML5 game dev! So I wanted to say thank you for the inspiration :) I especially appreciate the "loads no assets" aspect. I will take a look at the code in the morning! p.s. have you considered the name "Flappy Pong"?
That's awesome to hear! And yes my "one game per week" challenge was in 2014.
This game was definitely inspired by Flappy Bird, but no I didn't think about that name before today.

#90Really fun and addictive. I would extend the screen downwards so there is a clickable area that is not part of the play area. Then you will be able to see what is going on better. Just an idea.
That's a good point. I'll see what I can do about this, thanks!
It would be great if tapping anywhere on the page made the ball jump.
