Publisher's description
From Steve Taylor :Plasma Pong is a variant of the popular PONG game, with a high tech twist--it uses computational fluid dynamics to drive the environment. As the game starts you will have to duke it out against the opposing paddle, using the fluid as your weapon. You can shoot plasma out of the paddle to push the fluid around, which in turn pushes the ball around. Another weapon at your disposal is the ability to suction fluid back into your paddle. By doing this, possession of the ball can be controlled by the player. Once the ball is fully sucked into the paddle you can blast the ball across to the opposing player's side. After scoring against the opponent, you will ""Level Up,"" and the game mechanics will become more difficult. The ball will be more reactive to the fluid, making it much more unpredictable. Lose the ball and you will lose a life. Lose 10 lives and it's game over.
Note: There is an FPS counter at the top right-hand corner of the screen. If your FPS dips below 30, open the ""params.txt"" file and follow the optimization steps listed at the top. Doing this will sacrifice quality for performance.

Version: Plasma Pong 1.0
"Fun and a unique twist to pong"
Pros: The graphics are awesome and the gameplay only adds to it. The new features that are added to this pong take off are great and brought back the "pong addiction" all over again. It's fast paced and fun.
Cons: The music is limited and sometimes things can get difficult but you can get used to it after a while.

Version: Plasma Pong 1.0
"Nice looking pong game with realistic plasma"
Pros: Nicest looking pong game I've seen. Looks like proper plasma code is used which why it might be slow on my computer.
Cons: Ran quite slowly. Needs a decent 3D card to play.

Version: Plasma Pong 1.0
"Great game for "old-school" gamers and "Nu-School" as well!"
Pros: This effet of the plasma I thought was AWSOME! This is one of the best "remakes" of an original that I have seen in a long time! The music was very entertaining as well!

Version: Plasma Pong 1.0
"Original idea and great graphics"
Pros: The "fluid" concept is perfectly implemented, and the game really feels like it's being played inside a bowl of mud.
If for some strange reason you don't want to use the "fluid jet" and "suction" features to help control the ball, you're free to play it as normal pong.
The graphics are absolutely beautiful, and very easily scaleable from the config file.
Cons: It needs one monster of a PC to play fluidly - pun not intended :)
The AI is kinda crap. You really wish you could have a friend crowded around the computer with you. But...
There's no multiplayer option!
