MOONPONG: Tales of Epic Lunacy Reviews

The controls are just downright atrocious, playing it on control seems like it would be the best choice at first because the circular nature of the control stick lines up with the circular game field, this is a foolish assumption, On controller it moves WAY too fast for the degree of precision needed to move the ball, and mouse is somehow just as bad, because the paddle is very much stuck to the circle and your mouse is definitely not stuck to the circle, so all but the best of players will eventually forget to keep the mouse on the circle, rendering the controls just as bad as controller, and even if the paddle was easier to operate its still a task to do it well because the playing field is innately bad for pong. Because the normal rectangular field of pong is curved into a circle the gravity is very wonky and, if you go far "Up" enough than the ball switches gravity and starts falling away from you instead of back to your paddle, which is unavoidable because the center of gravity is usually where the enemies are, so you are forced to make the horrible choice of not attacking and letting enemies pile up, or attacking and having the ball go veering off at top speed into the abyss of death
