    Possibly the worst game ever made. The sheer amount of flashses and visual noise is sure to give anyone a seizure, and the infuriating and painfully difficult gameplay will make you want to kill yourself. STAY AWAY.

    10$ for pong? No. Never. I didn't play Ataria, so I;m sure some nostalgitards will love it, but otherwise, please, for the love of god, try to get yourself as far away possible from this game.

    I enjoyed Bit.Trip Runner. Sure it's hard and punishing game... quickly turning to impossible difficulty. But, surprisingly i didnt regret buying it. What about this one? It's the first installment of the Bit.Trip series and it's pretty... horrible. It makes me wanna puke. So many rapid movements on the screen, so many flashing objects.

It really can cause a seizure as somebody here wrote. I played Beat Hazard, the game which is even more flashy than this one and it's not affecting me that way. Believe me, im not usually having such problems - it's the first game EVER that made me feel dizzy. The core gameplay is combination of classical pong and a musical game.. The idea is nice, but i can't really tell anything about it... Cause im getting sick after 10 minutes with this game. One thing i can say, there's only 3 levels. I managed to beat first one so im guessing it's pretty short experience.… Expand

    Imagine arkanoid, but no blocks to hit, no control over where the ball goes and you just have to put your bat in the right place in sequence..... Yeah.... That's what I thought too.

    The music is okay, but I didn't find this to be very much fun. Also, it literally made my eyes hurt after about 10 minutes of playing. A new take on pong is an interesting idea, but this isn't very well executed.

    On Mac, it's impossible to set the mouse to anything other than 'obscenely twitchy and sensitive,' thereby rendering a game that retires entirely on carefully-judged mouse movements 400% pointless.

    The presentation might be kinda dinky, if that bakes your biscuit. It really is a very basic take on Pong, with a shocking UI, though. Avoid (unless bundled and essentially free.)

    Hmm… Yeah! I can play this for a while, but then my eyes truly give up on me… Hell I’m still seeing spots! I would guess whoever made this game was completely off of their head! It’s very challenging, but it just isn't interesting enough to hold my interest (possibly because it flashes everywhere and you can’t really see what’s coming and going)… I guess that’s partly the point of theHmm… Yeah!

It’s just a little bit too much for me!… Expand

    The length of the game's stages can wear on your patience and often there's seemingly too much visual noise for the game's own good, but that's no reason to pass on this clever title.
