Hi, Im sure you have all noticed the explosion of Bat and ball games over the months :\ THIS MUST STOP NOW! I think action must be taken to remove the threat of having to see another pong game suffer like it has in the hands of a noob.

So I call on you the good people of TDC to BAN BAT AND BALL GAMES forever! It is the only thing we can do to stop this sick twisted genere from affecting our sanity and making the worlds children think that the only way you can play ball is to fire up pong34729847294974839223897428934789 or something! BAN PONG, BAN BREAKOUT, BAN THEM ALL!

Thank you for your time.

No. That's stupid. There's plenty of crap from all genres here, and there's still room for innovation even in bat & ball games.

well i just ignore them since mostly only newbies make them.
Nothing against newbies or anything but unless they can add the part where you can control the balls direction depending on where it hits the bat then there is no skill involved in play.

mabye i should add a tutorial on this (ripped from a tgf example )

Like Radix said, there's no reason to ban a genre. Breakout is admittedly one of the top games that newcomers to Click try to emulate, without much success as getting it right is more difficult than it looks. However, there are some good ones on the site. I've seen some. At least, I hope I've seen at least one because I made one.

I seriously hope he doesn't get around it by making prequels instead. "Peoing IN 1980!!!!" Starring TOM the BLUE BAT and DICK the PINK BAT.

I have some innovative pong/breakout ideas...I'm just not sharing them with any of you...yet...

 
As a boy, I wanted to be a train. I didn’t realize this was unusual—that other kids played with trains, not as them.

Why the bat&ball games couldnīt be put
in the retro section?..
Or at least the games which really are
remixes of pong and breakout and other classics like that?

Offtracks:
I have made pong game also.
It had two bats and one ball and the player
had to throw the ball on the enemy players side, and
if he didnīt caught it, the player won.
lol, and it even had the same colours as the normal pong ...

Someone made a bat and ball worms fan game, I hate both bat & ball games and fan games but this was pretty cool, so you just never know.

I never played it but it looked like that Worms game on GBA (which itself is a blatant ripoff of Snood).

But isn't Snood a blatant ripoff of Bust a Move and Puzzle Bobble?

Aren't they the same thing? But yeah, probably. Although I get the feeling that mac Snood may actually have been first. I'll look it up.

Yeah, Snood was 1996, Puzzle Bobble 1994. Although Snood has set puzzles rather than being Tetrisish, so it's a clone rather than a ripoff.

Snood for Windows sucks. I've seen much better ones for free.

@AndyUK - It's the Nuklear n00b (I mean nuklearproductions or something), not someone from Newklear.
