Have you ever felt that Pong needed a more dynamic element? Well, we crossed Pong with a shooter to create Pongun. The result is a game where you can finesse shots and block the ball all the same. Is it revolutionary? That's for you to decide, but probably not. Is it fun? Well, we think so. You decide, check it out now. (This is our first Ludum Dare.)

A sideways space shooter and digital tennis game. So much fun! It has minimalistic graphics which has the nostalgia of old games. Left me wanting to have it as an on-the-fly game.

Can't wait to play this with my girlfriend. Still, super fun with the AI opponent

I like it. Although most of the time I miss the ball with all the whiteness over black, but it was fun. A multiplayer should be even more fun. Good job!

Love your game! One of the first I played. Note a bug on 4K displays causes bullet to despawn too soon.

Simple idea, well executed!

I just wish that the AI was a bit smarter. I just demolished it from start to finish with my impeccable shotting accuracy xD

Good job!

I like the idea very much! the only problem was that i could only score once, after that the game reset itself. Still, I really like the simplicity behind this entry and the mechanics are working quite nicely! :)

Haha this is great. The shooting actually adds a nice extra touch to pong. Nice job!

Simple yet satisfying. I enjoyed how it can be played as regular pong as well as the shooter elements.
