Pongo17 Now Available on Google Play
hardcoredroid.comSpirit Warrior Studio recently announced that their new game, Pongo17, is available on Google Play. Based on the original 1972 Pong, this game has received a massive overhaul in terms of looks and gameplay. First of all, there’s some actual lore. How do you add lore to a simple ping-pong game? By making it about Nature and Chaos. According to Pongo17’s portfolio website, “The players represent goddesses “Nature” (Midori) and “Chaos” (Kuroyuri).” Both sides are tasked with protecting a crystal from getting hit by the ball. However, there’s more to the game than just knocking a ball back and forth.
Players can collect power-ups for the ball and the paddles as they play. Additionally, the power-ups come in a variety of colors. Red will decrease the paddle speed while yellow doubles it. Green activates a defense to temporarily protect your crystal, and purple cancels abilities for a short time. Also, the game’s controls are simple and straightforward. There are two options for moving the paddle: Static and Dynamic. Static mode divides your screen in half horizontally which allows you to play with two fingers. Dynamic, however, is for swiping a full screen with one finger. Clearly Spirit Warrior Studio put a lot of thought into making Pongo17 more than just another ping-pong game.
The game is still very new in terms of Google Play standards. It only has a little over 50 downloads and no reviews yet. A plus is that, while not free, it’s one of the cheaper mobile games out there at $2.99. If you’re curious about a more visually appealing version of videogame ping-pong, Pongo17 might just be for you. Be on the lookout for a review from Hardcore Droid!
