After reading the Anthony's article about “Blueberry Garden”, I googled the creator and found his blog that showcased his games previous to his newest project. One of his earlier projects that caught my eye was “World of Pong”, which is Pong as a MMO. And it sounded interesting enough to give this one a whirl.

Let's start with the core of the game, the gameplay. It's really simple. You basically play Pong with a bunch of other people and a couple of balls. For every ball contact you get another level, thus becoming a little faster.
It seems that the game hasn't a level limit [info: I'm currently something over level 300] and, albeit there's a point counter, seems to be pretty much infinite.
At first you choose your name and a side. You'll only have this one avatar since there isn't main menu that lets you choose a different one. The game offers just Pong with other players, but fails to let you play with other people. There's only this shallow husk of a concept, which is fine since this is only an experiment, however I would've liked to have a stable chat and no lags.


The visuals are very minimalistic and fits to the basic and simple game. The only difference is that your paddle is red in order to distinguish yourself from the other players. Which oddly enough reminded me off the movie “Noriko Dinner Table”...

In conclusion, is the game a nice experiment without a real result and a little too much faults than it has traits.
