Skew Pong

It could be a simple Pong game if you wanted to, but where would the fun be in that ? Add in some unstability to the playing area, allowing it to roll and rotate. Use gravity or push the walls sideways to give yourself the advantage and score against your opponent.

You can play either Player vs Player (same keyboard local coop) or Player vs AI. Or if you don’t feel like playing, you can simply watch 2 AIs have a go at each other.

Controls

Keyboard

Player 1 : W/S or D/A
Player 2 : Up/Down or Right/Left
Gamepad is untested, but in theory you can play with 2 gamepads’ joysticks (menus shouldn’t work though)

If you want to play vs AI with Arrow pads controls, you’ll have to play as P2 (and put P1 as Computer).
