From the sources

Scroll down to download the game for MacOS and/or Windows. The desktop experience is better. :) If you're on MacOS, after you drag the app out of the .dmg, right-click on it and select Open and MacOS will allow you to run it in spite of being from an unidentified developer. This is a simple "endless jousting pole vaulter," based on a New Yorker cartoon by Seth Fleishman , made with the Godot game engine. Gameplay was inspired by QWOP. Thanks! I was going for a bit of a QWOP vibe. I'm glad you enjoyedfrom clay.itch.io

    I made a web game called Almost Pong2022 · lessmilk.com · ▲1,135

    Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
