Net Yaroze Month: PingPing

To learn more about Net Yaroze, read our introductory article here.

PingPing is a bat-and-ball tennis type game reminscient of Pong, but instead of viewing from above, you view it from the side, making it more in common with first-video-game-candidate, Tennis for Two.

More fun in two-player mode than against the computer.

Matt Verran is proving himself a Yaroze powerhouse, as the brains behind Robot Ron and Roller, both currently in our top ten. Though PingPing looks awesome and is a nice take on Pong, I’m unsure as to its replayability.
