Table Ball

Have you ever wanted to play "Ping Pong" but flat and top-down?
Well dear reader, now you can with TABLE BALL from Lockyz Dev.

Features

Multiple Game Modes
You wouldn't think such a simple game would have game modes did you?
Well we have 3.
(Local) Player Vs Player
Grab a controller for you and a friend and control a different paddle each and fight to get the higher score.
Player Vs AI
Grab a paddle and whack the ball that the AI whacks back at you
AI Vs AI
Watch the AI fight itself I guess?

Welp it's here, we've FINALLY finished the 2.0.0 update.

Additions

- Money system

-- Deluxe Edition SHOULD give you 1000 extra pings

- 8 new colours

- Option to disable/enable controller input

- Added control settings to the main menu

- Re-added the "default" ball skin
-- We're not sure why it broke

- Added Survival Game Mode
-- More information on the docs site

- 3D toggle in the game settings
-- Turns on the 3D Game Mode

------ ;)

- Added some Easter Eggs
-- Hinted to at least one in this very changelog
-- Moved "HSG" to behind the camera

- Started work on content toggles

Changes

-- Background has been changed

- Adjusted the volume of background music
-- Should no longer burst your eardrums when you load the game

- Updated how changing settings works
-- Most setting changes save to Player Prefs and SHOULD persist between loads

- Changed how skins work slightly
-- Now have a "price" value even if free

- Removed the "Legacy" and "Legacy Multiplayer" options

- Updated various UI elements

-- Upsized drop-down menus to increase readability on smaller screens
-- Some screens now use pagination
-- Increased the size of most text elements to improve readability

Technical Changes

- Upgraded the Colour System

- Game now detects what platform it's running on and changes the default settings

- "Player" now pauses when the game is not in focus
-- So when you tab out, in the middle of a game you won't lose like 50 points to the AI, or get killed by the enemies in survival

-- 1% made it almost impossible to use powerups
