Story:
In a universe where Nature and Chaos constantly battle for control, a battle emerged that symbolizes this eternal struggle: Pongo17.
The ball that is launched at the beginning of the battle represents the original information, an idea, and each player tries to modify it to fit their worldview.
From all corners of the universe many shapes balls are sent as original information, and many more are still traveling towards this battle.
The players represent Nature and Chaos, each trying to win the battle to impose their vision of the world. Each scored goal is a victory for that force, an opportunity to demonstrate its superiority over the other.
As the ball travels back and forth, there is a constant clash of ideas and values, each fighting to impose its will on the other.
Pongo17 has become an important symbol of the constant struggle between these two forces in the universe, a battle that never ends and is always at stake.

GAMEPLAY:
In Pongo17, players represent goddesses Midori(Nature) and Kuroyuri(Chaos), and they must defend their core crystal from a bouncing ball representing the original information.
As they move their paddles left and right, they not only defend their crystals but also modify the original information of the ball.
Along the way, they can collect power-ups symbolizing the different forces at play in this eternal struggle.
These power-ups have varying effects and can tip the balance in favor of one side or the other.

🎮 CONTROLS:
To move the paddle you have 3 options, press pause in center of the game to choose:
– Classic – your screen is half divided, left and right screen (perfect for playing with 2 fingers)
– Glide – hold and slide with you finger to left or right on the screen, like swipe (perfect playing with one finger)
– Warp – The paddle is wherever you put your finger (perfect playing with one finger)
*For Classic & Glide take in consideration the limited velocity of the paddle, as the Warp there is no limit.
*You can complement controls with personalized Speed (Gradual or Instant)
