Game overview

Neon Ping Pong is table tennis stripped to a glowing paddle, a ball and a scoreline. The single-player ladder tightens its AI as you climb, while local two-player mode puts both paddles on one keyboard. The settings menu is what sets this version apart: paddle size and a maximum ball speed cap are yours to set, so you can keep long rallies readable or let the ball turn into a streak of light.

This title is best suited to two players sharing a keyboard for quick Pong matches.

How to play Neon Ping Pong

  1. Pick single player for the AI ladder or two player for local matches
  2. Set paddle size and the ball speed cap in the settings menu
  3. Track the ball's angle off the wall and meet it early
  4. Aim your returns at the corner the opponent has just left
