PingPing
Gameplay
Bat the little ball to and fro between the two players over the centre point. You can angle your bat to affect the balls trajectory and hit the ball while the bats in motion to affect it's speed. Attempt to make the other player miss the ball and score yourself a point, 5 points and you win the game.
History
The spiritual successor to my Pong clone: Ping, PingPing was completed in around 4 days making use of the engine I wrote for my more in depth project Roller. It was inspired by a brief shot of a military computer research game in the Channel 4 documentary "Thumb Candy". Stylistically I wanted to create something avant-guarde, maybe even an art house game, hence the minimilist sound effects and excessive motion blur. Hopefully I succeded in making something that would never be published commercially :)
Pingping was featured on the coverdisk of Official Playstation Magazine issue 107. You may be able to obtain back issues from Future Publishing. In order to play the game with the analog sticks you must put your pad in analog mode before launching the game from the disk menu.
