PongOut
A two player arcade game


Behind every Pong game, hides a BreakOut game...

You thought that Pong and BreakOut were two separate games... but you thought wrong.

The hard truth is that every time you play Breakout, a Pong paddle withers and dies, in beat with the bricks.

It has come to this... Two paddles enter, one paddle leaves. To live to pong another day, you have to... break your opponent.

And then you must live with yourself.

To win, you must Pong Hard!

Please, think of the paddles.

* Anne Sigrid Aarstad - code, art
* Vegar Guldal - music, sound, art

Played it by myself, so it was a personal achievement to keep the game going for more than 12 seconds. In part I was hoping that the two games would use the same ball, but it turned out pretty fun anyway.

Clever idea, too bad I can't try it with anyone right now. I especially like that it's played on an odd number of screens.
