Pong NEON
A downloadable Pong for Windows, macOS, and Linux
I developed this game as a didactic experience to gain some experience with Godot engine, in fact, this is my first project with Godot and i choose to make a pong game because I think that Pong is the easiest game to develop for beginners. In this game (for now) you will find only two modes: "1 player" and "2 players". In "1 player" mode you can use the W and S keys to move you platform (that is the blue one in the left) while, in "2 players" mode, the first player must use the W & S keys and the second one can use the arrow keys UP and DOWN.
Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to the original pong with small differences: in fact, the ball will increase its speed at every bounce of the players (not the walls) to force them to miss it. You must also remember the angular bounce of ball: if the ball crash at the center of the player, it will bounce horizontaly but, if it crash in a position different to the center, its trajectory will become more angled.
Neon style
I chosed a neon style because of my inspiration to the synthwave and to develop my abilities with the environment nodes of Godot. I'm very excited about the neon style of my game and i added a wall wallpaper to show clearly the effects of the lights.
Platforms
I exported this game for every platform: You can play it here in the browser or, you can download an executable for your os.

This looks very beautiful. I wonder if an idle mode can be added to it, so this can be used as some sort of background.
The Ai can be improved a bit. And it lacks any kind of controls while playing. So you have to restart, if you want to change the difficulty or players.
