POLYPONG

Pong for everyone. On a polygon.

Two players get classic Pong. Three play on a triangle, twelve on a dodecagon. Miss the ball and you’re out, and the arena shrinks.

Free, no sign-up, no ads.

More players, more corners

The arena always has as many sides as there are players. Every side is a goal with a paddle in front of it.

The rules fit on a beer mat

  1. Defend your side. Your paddle is always at the bottom of your screen.
  2. Let a ball through and you lose a life. Out of lives, you’re out, and your side disappears.
  3. Last one standing wins. If it takes too long, paddles shrink and extra balls join.
