About Pingers

Gameplay


The aim of Pingers is simple, move your paddles to hit the balls and keep them on the screen. You can pick up powerups to destroy as many balls as possible and get a higher score. Try to survive as long as you can!

Play either COOP and work together to get the highest score, or VERSUS to compete to be the last standing.

Controls


We recommend using a gamepad but keyboard is also supported and works great. Simply use the analog sticks or WASD/Arrow keys to move your paddles and hit the balls! Add some more players to spice things up.

Features


  • Two game modes: COOP and VERSUS.
  • Fast paced gameplay which gets harder over time
  • Easy to learn controls with Keyboard or Gamepad
  • 1-4 player local coop (or over remote play together!)
  • Character customisation and unlocks!
  • Steam leaderboards and achievements
  • Great to play whilst waiting in a queue for another game

Dev note


I greatly appreciate feedback and will do my best to ensure support for this game. Please contact me through Discord, Twitter, Instagram, or the forums if you encounter any bugs, you have feature requests or you want to say hi!

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope you enjoy playing Pingers!

"Pingers" is described ambitiously as a "score chaser" but really it's a garbage ripoff of Atari's 1972 Arcade (the first of them all), Pong. Atari have not, to date, engaged in legal action against the developer to protect their copyright. All you do here is, well, move the bats around to keep the ball bouncing. There's some bells and whistles, multiplayer mode (no players of course... this is a Pong ripoff... nobody is playing that 50 years later). The most amusing aspect of this entire game is that the developer was charging money for it. This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $5 USD for this. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It…

A simple, fun, addicting game. The music really stands outs! I would recommend for those who are looking for something to play in between other games, or with your friends locally.

Игра "Pingers" – это на удивление увлекательная и простая аркада, которая быстро затягивает. Концепция элементарна: нужно отбивать шарики, чтобы они не упали, используя платформу. Сначала кажется легко, но по мере прохождения уровней сложность ощутимо возрастает, добавляются новые типы шаров, препятствия и хитроумные ловушки. Что меня особенно зацепило, так это ее минималистичный, но стильный визуальный дизайн. Цвета яркие и приятные глазу, а анимация плавная и отточенная. Саундтрек тоже отлично вписывается в атмосферу, не отвлекая от игрового процесса, а наоборот, добавляя динамики происходящему. "Pingers" – идеальный вариант для коротких игровых сессий, когда хочется просто расслабиться и немного поразвлечься. Она отлично подходит для игры в дороге или в перерывах между работой. Хотя игровых механик не так много, игра умудряется поддерживать интерес за счет постоянного наращивания сложности и добавления новых элементов. Единственным минусом, пожалуй, является то, что после нескольких часов игры она может немного приесться, так как основная механика остается неизменной. Но учитывая её цену и доступность, это совсем незначительный недостаток. В целом, я бы рекомендовал "Pingers"…

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.
