Spin Pong is a fun 2-player Pong game for PS3, with some interesting physics and stereo sound!

Cool takes me back to my childhood, although the ball physics are a bit strange.

I love the spin on a classic!

Well done, and thank you!

Thank you kind sir! At my cottage (it's cold) with dial-up and no tools. Freezing Rain/Slush Rain today so I played this a little with a buddy, quite amusing. (Took all morning to download lul)

That is awesome! Great game, the physics are so cool.

I read your readme and was a bit surprised, that the physics seem to be random? It would be a freakin 2-player game if you could give your ball a spin/knock by pressing another button. Lower the random distortion or the ball and give the player more control over the ball.
This has so much potential ... maybe using right stick to make the ball move in that direction ... maybe your ability to influence the ball increases by returning the ball. Maybe by some kind of meter or a score. Once the ability is fully charged, you could spin/knock the ball harder ... of course you have to be careful with adding that. Otherwise it will ruin the gameplay ... maybe if you could only influence your ball on your own side of the screen ... maybe some kind of dead-zone right before your paddle to avoid last-second-spins by the other player ... and some kind of scoreboard to brag ...
Overall I am just amazed by the possibilities of the game. For me it has always been "**** the graphics, it's ALL about gameplay"
