Neon Pong

Neon Pong is a two-paddle duel on a glowing court. The ball leaves the centre line, picks up speed on every return and takes its angle from exactly where it lands on your paddle, so a shot struck near the tip flies away flat and fast while a centred one comes straight back. Move as you make contact and the paddle drags the ball with it, which is how you aim a rally into the corner your opponent has just left.

Play it solo against an AI that reads the ball at three different levels of sharpness, or put two people on one device. In landscape the paddles sit left and right: player one uses W and S or the mouse, player two the arrow keys, and either can simply drag a finger on their own half of the court. Turn a phone upright and the court turns with it, paddles to the top and bottom, one thumb each.

First to seven wins, or set the match to five or eleven before you start. Serves alternate, a short countdown gives you time to settle, and the score flashes when someone reaches match point. Switch the power-ups on and glowing pickups drift into mid-court during a rally: a longer paddle, a faster ball, or a sudden second and third ball, all handed to whoever touched the ball last. Press P to pause, M to mute.
