Ghost House Pong

It's Boo-against-Boo in this arcade-style minigame! Play Singles or Doubles matches with up to four players, compete across 5+ different courts, and listen to a shuffled playlist of spooky tracks from classic & modern games.

This game was initially developed as part of a Game Jam, with a fully polished build available after only 10 hours of development. Later updates saw the addition of the final two courts.

Doubles Mode is exclusive to the downloadable Desktop version of the game. The browser version is Singles-only.

STRATEGY

• Angle Your Shots. When the ball hits your paddle, the direction it bounces away is dependent on your position. To straighten your shot, try catching the ball in the center of your paddle. Alternatively, to fire at a steep angle, try to catch the ball on the edge of your paddle.
• Swing for Power. By pressing and releasing the Fire button on your controller or keyboard, you'll perform a Swing. If you manage to catch the ball at the apex of a swing, it will launch away at incredible speed. This is known as a Power Shot, and it is essential to defeating skilled players.
• Curve your Swings. While charging a swing, your movement is slowed. If you release a swing while moving, you'll perform a Dive, launching yourself in the direction of your movement. A Power Shot performed during a dive will curve away in the direction of the dive, possibly sneaking through a player's defenses.
• Mind Your Court. All seven of this game's courts are unique. Six of them feature environmental hazards that can change the way you and your opponent play the game. For example, the Stormy Court features a wind tunnel that will push the ball up or down as it moves across. Use these to your advantage!
