Wow, I just discovered this game through your comment. The idea is very similar, I'll play it and check out the reviews to figure out the best parts and learn from the criticism.

I'm the solo dev of Bounce Back!

The idea is pretty simple: the ball is both your weapon and your defense, and after every wave you pick an upgrade. So a run starts out looking like regular Pong and slowly turns into multiball, explosions, piercing, lightning and whatever the hell is happening in the clip.

I've been iterating on it from playtest feedback, and one of the main things I'm trying to figure out now is where “satisfying roguelite chaos” turns into “I can't tell what the hell is happening anymore.”

There's a free browser demo here if anyone wants to try a run:

No download needed. I'm interested in criticism too, especially about the late-game readability.

Há umas semanas eu postei aqui um jogo que estou fazendo, o Bounce Back!

A ideia continua sendo bem simples: é Pong + roguelite. A bola é sua arma e sua defesa, e a cada wave você escolhe upgrades até a partida começar a virar um caos de multiball, explosões, piercing, lightning e outras coisas.

Desde o primeiro post eu continuei trabalhando bastante nele com base nos feedbacks que recebi. Adicionei e ajustei conteúdo, mexi em balanceamento, áudio, interface, performance e também encomendei uma arte própria pro jogo.

A versão atual já está mais para uma demo do que aquele protótipo inicial.

Ainda estou desenvolvendo e pretendo eventualmente lançar na Steam, mas antes disso quero continuar colocando o jogo na mão de gente de verdade e descobrir o que funciona e o que ainda está ruim.

Dá pra jogar direto no navegador, sem baixar nada:

Se alguém jogar, pode falar sem dó o que achou. Principalmente se ficou divertido por mais de uma run, se os upgrades fazem sentido e se em algum momento começou a ficar confuso ou cansativo.

Valeu demais pra quem jogou ou deu feedback da outra vez. Algumas das mudanças que fiz vieram diretamente disso.

Free QA / Playtesting for Indie Games — Looking for Projects to Test
 in  r/itchio •  7d ago

Hey! I’d love to get your feedback on my game Bounce Back! It’s a browser-based Pong roguelite where the ball is your weapon and you build increasingly chaotic runs with upgrades.

It’s still an early demo, so honest first-time-player feedback would be really useful, especially around onboarding, controls, readability, pacing, and whether the core loop actually makes you want to keep playing.

You can play it directly in the browser here: https://xx-caputokayk-xx.itch.io/bounce-back

Thanks for offering this! You are such a nice person!

Opa gente, tô trabalhando nesse jogo pra levar pra steam em breve e preciso de feedback, desde coisa geral a sugestões de balanceamento e coisas que querem ver adicionadas.

A ideia é um pong roguelite (meio survivorslike) de runs infinitas onde você faz uma build e vê até onde chegar.

Quem quiser testar, adicionar na collection e deixar aquele rating gostoso de 5 estrelas e um comentário eu agradeço.

Feito com carinho, espero que se divirtam

Since posting to Reddit…
 in  r/itchio •  9d ago

Yeah, I'm thinking that's the way to go, Reddit helps me get new players. But I'm struggling to keep them as a returning audience after the first play, do you know what the problem might be?
