Publisher's description of Plasma Pong
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.
Version 1.2 includes a total game redesign from the ground up, offline multiplayer action, a new blast meter, and a revamped Sandbox mode.

Version: Plasma Pong 1.2
Pros: Love the graphics and the ball/paddle action, gives a uniquely new perspective on the old Pong game. With the plasma-filled court, you can choose to just paddle the ball, or you can "suck" in plasma (right mouse) and blast it away. You have to be careful and be aware of which direction the ball is going or it just might surprise you!
LOADS of fun
Cons: Doesn't run very well on a Celeron PC. Pentium IV and above is recommended
The music gets boring after a while, though it is ingenius how the tempo/octive is increased with each level of play.

Version: Plasma Pong 1.2
Pros: This is the best version of pong since the original, easy enough for a 6 year old, fun and fast paced enough for a 20 year-old.
Cons: Drains system performance and graphics, but if you got at least a 1.5ghz cpu and a good graphics it should run fine on low settings, but kick it up to a core 2 duo with SLI Nvidia graphics it can kick ass at 1600X1200!!! with all fluid graphics up.
