Bottom Line: Play it! I was playing this game in multiplayer mode with one of my friends and we simply couldn't stop!
Plazma Pong makes an amazing use of fluid dynamics to create a highly competitive and addictive game play style. You could liken it to the classic scene of two wizards battling with streams of magical energy, in an attempt to overtake each other. I enjoyed this game best with the default settings left intact, as it seems great care went in to tweaking the fluid settings for optimal performance and visual quality. Speaking of fluid settings, you can control everything from viscosity to pressure and turbulence, in order to vary the feedback as the ball moves through the ooze. I have to admit however, when I played solo it wasn't nearly as captivating as multiplayer mode was, and I found myself more interested in the visuals than playing against the cpu. As a matter of fact, there is a sandbox mode just for this sort of "hypnotic viewing" that allows you to choose from several preset fluid types and grid settings. I highly recommend that you download this game and find a friend to play against. Spend a few minutes getting your game down, and you will not be disappointed. Great Job!
