Ponxiety
The year is 2132, and you're humanity's last hope!
Your people have created a powerful super AI codename "SkyBOT" which has gained self-awareness and lust for murder. Taking over all of the planet Earths defence systems, it demands to be entertained by competing against them in a classic game of Pong... And you're the chosen one! Win and humanity shall prevail. Lose, and humanity's hope will be lost forever! You only have to score four points to win!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ponxiety is the first game I've ever worked while learning Lua and Love2D. By all means, the game isn't perfect, but it's a creation that I'm happy with, and one that taught me a lot.
Few important bits for web version:
As there is no way to tell the game that it's currently on a Web platform, ESC will crash the game.

And yes, trust me! The AI can be beaten! Rather... very easily.

Nice short game, managed to win on my first try but almost lost, it started like 0-3 but when I got used to the player's speed, it turned out to be way easier. Hope you continue your dev journey!
Thank you! I'm more than eager to continue my gamedev journey with love2d!
It indeed can be tricky, but the AI has a weakness you can easily take advantage of!
Thank you for your comment! I really appreciate it.
