Chaos Pong

Pong Variant (October 2020)

Made by myself in Processing, over a week

Game Details

Multiple Balls

Instead of only having 1 ball that gets bounced back and forth, there are instead several of them. Players also move at a fast speed.

Survival

The game continues until one player meets or exceeds the target score. Hitting the boundaries of your side causes the other player to gain points.

Sudden Death

The game also includes an extra mode, where players and balls move much faster, and hitting the boundary is an instant loss.

Retrospective

Even though changing the number of balls on the screen doesn't sound like much of a change, I'm still a fan of how much it changes the gameplay. The game turns from a 1v1 ping pong battle, to more of a game about trying to survive longer than your opponent.
