Plasma Pong

Plasma Pong is a variation of Pong that utilizes real-time fluid dynamics to drive the game environment.

Players have several new abilities that add fun twists to the classic game. In the game you can inject plasma fluid into the environment, create a vacuum from your paddle, and blast shockwaves into the playing area. All these abilities have fluid-based kinetic effects on the ball, making Plasma Pong a fast-paced and exciting game.

That's because Atari decided to be *******

and pulled the plug on plasma pong.

The download isn't working

by Daniel Finta 1174908238

I think the game should be optimized thou. It's really slow in 2 Ghz Celeron with some 128 ATI. Do you youse MMX or something to speed the thing???

by HappyGilmore 1174097965

I was extremely impressed with this game, although I can only make it to level 33. I'm trying to figure out the sandbox mode now!

It's wonderful game! Thank's, for this game. *And game work on Vista.

by Daniel Finta 1173356614

WOW! I could imagine allmost nothing to use plasmas. Now THAT is something & fun XD. Thanks!

Yeah. Probably part of his evil plot.

"Have you actually tried contacting Steve Taylor?"

Yes. Not surprisingly I never received a reply.

About the music, you could have just looked at the website, where it says:
Intro music is (c) Harry Gregson-Williams - Training Montage from the Spy Game soundtrack.
Battle music is (c) ES Posthumus - Pompeii.

But yeah, perhaps it should have been included in the game. Have you actually tried contacting Steve Taylor? You do realize that things would get done faster if he knew about your concerns compared to just complaining on some website? ;)

by Jari Komppa 1172389681

About the music - the battle_loop.mp3 is apparently Pompeii by E.S. Posthumus from their album Unearthed in 2001.

Songs from the album are featured in several movie trailers.

While they seem to be independent (selling their record on cdbaby.com for instance) I have serious doubts they like their song to be included in this game uncredited.

The song intro_loop.mp3 seems to be "training montage" by Harry Gregson-Williams, from the 'Spy Game' soundtrack. published on Dacca Records, universal music group. I'd say there's approximately snowball's chance in hell that this song is licensed to be used in this game.

Is the music legal?

by Duoae 1172063374

Brilliant take on a classic game, but the music is what really does it for me :)

by Dgg 1171825806

It's a neat game.

by minefield 1171106726

A simple idea turned to gold. Bloody brilliant!

by Malphorix 1171079584

A pong remake more fun than the original. The entire thing is just really cool

by Lynx 1170546266

Great job! The game is fun and sandbox mode amazing as well.

by Phill Djonov 1170368385

Nicely done.

by Andrew Jobin 1170352677

Just when you thought pong was outdated and boring, they come out with this. Simply breath taking and a refreshing twist to pong. It's like crack just less expensive!

by scythemike 1170298704

Slick, but still just pong...

It has an impressive particle system though.

by happyface 1170194661

Wow, that was an amazing game. Very good particle system... <3 def recommend it

by Maxwell Marsh 1169898942

This game is wicked awesome with a side trip to "Whoa!"

by Sol Invictus 1169772494

Played it. Enjoyed it. Definitely worth the download.

by Ariel Marsh 1169767221

Absolutely fantastic and addicting! The combination of the colors and music made it a very fun/trippy experience.

by Andres Cartin 1169588732

Incredible game... this game has a high replay value.. but i think making the game progress (for example, unlock some features throughout the game) would definitely raise the addictive quality Tom Spilman posted about.

by scythemike 1169095168

YIKES that was fun.

by MrTus 1169070036

omg! I absolutly loved that! That has to be the best pong that i have ever played.. I hope to see more like this :D

by Roger Braunstein 1168925693

Gorgeous game. Best pong variant I've ever played! I love trippy visuals and this won me over. Like mono on crack :)

by Hussein Duvigneau 1168878952

so simple yet so awesome!

have you published anywhere about how this game works, as a fellow developer i'd love to know.

by BloodEagle 1168830276

A great game! When you get right down to it, it is absoloutelly beautiful.

by Ben Vesco 1168778951

Beautiful. This game does a good job of hiding the fact that underneath the glitz, it is just plain old pong!!!

by Michael Schuld 1168778846

Gorgeous and a great twist on such a widely known classic. The controls were very easy to figure out, and the most recent version's A.I. is great.

by Brock Mc 1168719954

I love this game it's sooo pretty. And fun. I'm first on the highscore table right now, made it to lvl 29! Brock is the best!

by Jim 1167312329

This game is great fun and an excellent variation on traditional pong

by Kostas Michalopoulos 1164996552

Addiction!

When you play it, you feel like the music is synchronized with the gameplay and the dreamy colors really add to that. It took me a while to figure out how to make that "boost" effect (right click, duh :-P) but then i think i overused it.

This is both a technical feat (fluid physics rule :-P) and a GOOD game. It's on my "things to show off to people that come over my place" list :-).
