s&Pong

Pong as a battle royale. Every player defends one wall of a neon arena. Let the ball past and your wall is gone for good, the arena shrinks to seven sides, then six, until two players duel inside a square. The middle of the arena keeps changing. Bumpers fling the ball back faster, gravity wells drag it into a curve, repulsors push it away, portals swallow it and spit it out somewhere else, spinners whack it across the floor and slow zones hold it in place. Power-ups fly to whoever touched the ball last: grow your paddle, shield your wall, shrink everybody else, set the ball on fire, freeze the others, swap their controls, turn the ball into a ghost or magnetise your own paddle. Fill the arena with bots and let friends drop in at any time. Anyone who joins takes a bot's wall right away, anyone who leaves is replaced by one. Controls: A / D, arrow keys or mouse to slide your paddle. Gamepad works too.
