Atari 's classic Pong is the most fundamental multiplayer game, turning competition into a game of digital "capture." And yet, developer Graphite Lab is turning the Pong idea upside down with its latest game: qomp2 .

The unusual title is a sequel to 2021's hidden gem qomp, where players took control of a Pong trying to escape its monotonous life. A one-button control system allowed players to change the direction the ball bounced. This created a unique game where players simply tried to guide their round friend through mazes filled with obstacles. It was short, minimalist, and elegant in its clever design .
qomp2 , as the new successor to Pong , doesn't change the idea much except for adding a second button, which allows you to charge energy and release it for a speed boost.

Perhaps the biggest thing it brings to the table is the sheer difficulty. Graphite Lab is ramping up the obstacles this time around, bringing in some unique features. Each level has different obstacles. A white tail starts following the ball, and if it hits it, it loses. In another phase, water is introduced, which completely changes the physics of the game.
Some of these levels are extremely difficult, which can be a little frustrating. Some levels can really test your patience.

Fortunately, qomp2 has a number of accessibility that you can use at some advanced levels – although some of these toolsultimately simplify some of the puzzle challenges.
