Pong. It's a game that everyone knows, and it's a game everyone's seen plenty of times. 

And yet, therein lies the spark of potential - how can we evolve Pong far beyond that which God and Science intended? 

By making it a bullet hell arcade game. 

Yeah, that works as a tagline. 

Shoot each other! Avoid the enemies! Grab powerups! And send that ball blasting towards your opponent with well-timed parries. 

Whoever controls the ball, controls the game. (Or, yknow, at least the music.)

Be careful of the boundaries though - the size of your area is tied to your health. More space means more potential powerups, but less space increases the chance to parry. 

Featuring a varied set of team colors and multiple different maps!

Made as part of the RPI Arcade Game Jam Spring '23. While the game is intended for an arcade cabinet, we've uploaded a Windows build below.
