Rogue Pong strips brick-breaking down to procedural runs where you unlock randomized powerups between stages, building toward increasingly chaotic ball setups. The core draw is experimenting with different upgrade combinations to clear ever-more-cluttered screens, though it currently lacks mid-run variety and some quality-of-life features that would smooth out the experience. Best suited for players who enjoy short, replayable arcade-style sessions with roguelike progression.
About this game
Just a simple brick-breaker game with some rogue-like elements and a bit of random stuff (totally unrelated to the plot)

Neat and has great variety of powerups. However, there is no list for already chosen ones, no way to check other 2 pages of stats during the powerup choose menu and no save run option. Eventually waiting for a some sort of spin that adds, perhaps, a mini-boss stage midrun that isn't just several flat lines of blocks. Kinda to make it feel more like peglin with balls going above the main chunk of blocks and then providing dopamine with bounces. Also would be interesting to see ways to change the shape of the player's bar. Making it curved outward/inward adds a range of direction changes at the cost of it being harder to not miss the balls.
The game has potential for more. Up to this point, it's fun for a few levels. As the upgrades increase, the screen becomes increasingly cluttered. But that's exactly what gives you the satisfying feeling of having launched the balls well. Unfortunately, there aren't enough of them, or it needs to feel more rewarding. There's also no menu once you're in a round, at least I left the game with Alt + F4
There are quite a lot of small changes regarding the gameplay and overall user experience. (I won’t say what the changes are exactly, but there are changes — trust me).
