Plasma Pong is the classic game of pong with the mesmerising twist of fluid dynamics—that’s the plasma.
You can shoot plasma from your paddle by holding the left mouse button, and suck the plasma back by holding the right mouse button. The screen starts filling up with the plasma, and the ball gets carried along through the waves of it. When you suck the plasma back, the ball will follow, and you can then release the right mouse button to shoot the ball back out.
The physics are matched by the psychedelic graphics; waves of multi-coloured plasma splash about and mingle while other sparks and particles swarm and spin like galaxies.
Plasma Pong also has a freeform sandbox mode, where you just play around with the system and the physics, which is as good as the actual Pong game.
It is based around a simple concept, so Plasma Pong may be lacking in replay value, but it’s certainly worth messing around with for a couple of hours.
