Less complex than an actual Pong machine
In single player, the pattern that the balls follow took all of 5 seconds to figure out. As a result, I got a 214 score the first time I played. Pretty boring. Also, the balls rebound in the exact same way regardless of where you hit them. Even in the original Pong console game, if you hit the ball with the bottom or top of your paddle it would bounce off in a different direction than if you hit it squarely. The speed of the ball was dependent on where you hit it, which was better than this apps method of speeding up the ball over time. To be clear, Im saying that a console game from 1975 (which was based on an arcade game from 1971) is more advanced than this app.
The multiplayer is a little better...maybe. Well, not really. One thing I can say is that this app was worth every penny. Yes, I got it while it was free.
