Binnenkort in vroegtijdige toegang

De ontwikkelaars brengen dit spel uit terwijl er nog aan gewerkt wordt en gebruiken de feedback van spelers bij de ontwikkeling.

Opmerking: Spellen in vroegtijdige toegang zijn nog niet voltooid en kunnen nog veranderen. Als je niet staat te springen om dit spel in de huidige staat te spelen, kun je beter afwachten hoe het spel zich verder ontwikkelt. Meer informatie

Wat de ontwikkelaars zeggen:

Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Ping Pong Attack: The Return of the Pong already offers a substantial and playable arcade campaign, but we want player feedback to help shape the next stage of its development.

Early Access allows us to improve balance, controls, performance and cooperative play while working toward larger planned additions. We are particularly interested in feedback about difficulty progression, boss encounters, two-player gameplay and the direction of future game modes.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'We currently expect the game to remain in Early Access until approximately Q1 2027. This is an estimate rather than a guaranteed date and may change based on development progress, testing and community feedback.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The full version is planned to build upon the existing seven-planet campaign.

Our current development goals include true online cooperative play, a replayable Galactic Expedition roguelike-style mode, further Steam Deck and controller refinement, additional balancing and difficulty improvements, performance optimisation, and more polish across the game’s presentation and progression.

These plans may evolve as features are tested and we receive feedback from the community.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The Early Access version currently includes a playable single-player campaign progressing from Pluto to Earth, with 105 levels across seven planets, major boss encounters, several alien types, weapons, power-ups and three difficulty modes.

The game also includes local two-player cooperative play, Steam Remote Play Together support, save and restore functionality, and separate single-player and two-player leaderboards.

The campaign can be played from beginning to end. Native online cooperative play and the planned Galactic Expedition mode are not currently included. As development continues, players may encounter bugs, balancing issues or performance differences, and some features may change in response to testing and feedback.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'We plan to offer the game at a lower price during Early Access to reflect its current development state. The price may increase as significant content and features are added and the game approaches full release. Any planned pricing changes will be communicated to the community in advance.'

Hoe zijn jullie van plan de community te betrekken bij het ontwikkelproces?

'We plan to use the Steam Community Hub, discussion forums and development announcements to share progress and collect player feedback.

Players will be encouraged to report bugs and provide feedback on difficulty, level balance, controls, cooperative play, Steam Deck performance and proposed new game modes. Where appropriate, major new features may first be tested through optional Steam beta branches.

Community feedback will help us prioritise fixes, refinements and future development.'

Over dit spel

They brought an armada. You brought a bat.

Ping Pong Attack: The Return of the Pong continues on from the first game and is a fast, playful arcade shoot ’em up where table tennis meets a full-scale alien invasion. It is 10 years later and you must pilot Earth’s rocket-powered ping-pong bat fighter and battle from Pluto through seven increasingly dangerous planetary campaigns.

Cut firing lanes through enemy formations, defend yourself with shields, collect powerful upgrades and turn the alien fleet’s own ping-pong arsenal against it. Every rally escalates as formations change, armoured ships absorb extra hits, asteroids crowd the battlefield and bosses unleash screen-filling attacks.

Fight your way from Pluto to Earth

The campaign spans 105 levels across Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Earth. Each planet contains 15 levels and three major boss encounters. The fleet grows more dangerous as you approach home, culminating in a seven-ship battle for Earth.

Play solo or share the cockpit

Take on the complete campaign alone or fight together in two-player local co-op. Each pilot has separate lives, shields, weapons and controller assignment while contributing to one shared team score. Steam Remote Play Together lets a friend join the local co-op battle over the internet through Steam streaming.

Easy mode allows an eliminated pilot to rejoin the fight. On Normal and Pong (Hard), the remaining player must destroy a bright-blue carrier and collect its REVIVE pickup to bring their partner back.

Build your perfect attack

  • Upgrade lasers, missiles, side ships, shields and smart bombs

  • Choose Easy, Normal or Pong (Hard), each with its own campaign balance

  • Battle changing formations, specialist alien ships, asteroids and escalating multi-ship bosses

  • Chase six independent local top-ten boards: Solo and Dual for every difficulty

  • Save and restore campaigns across ten save slots

  • Enable an optional game timer that starts with your first laser and records the final campaign time

  • Fight to a ten-track soundtrack, including separate instrumental, vocal and complete main-menu music pools

  • Play with keyboard and mouse or assign controllers independently for one or two players

  • Use the Steam Deck-friendly 1280×800 presentation when running the Windows build through Proton

  • Complete the campaign on Pong (Hard) difficulty to unlock Developer Mode and the level editor.

No third-party account, telemetry or in-game purchases are required.
