PongDS v0.3 with single-DS multiplayer mode

Nintendo DS - Image 1We've already had our share of homebrewed Pong games for the DS, but as always, it's good to get more options when it comes to game. Check out BigBob85's take on the iconic gaming classic, PongDS. Only three days in the making, Pong DS already has the basic gaming options (single player and local multiplayer) down pat.

Local multiplayer? No, we're not talking about wireless connection between two DS units, but similar to Pyin-Pyang, two players will go head-to-head using the same DS, with one player using the D-pad to move the paddle and the other using the buttons to move their own paddle.

Check out the changelog for PongDS's initial release up to its current version:
  • Release 0.3: 12th June 2008 (1:11am Release)
    • Added sound to the game.
    • Added single player mode. You can control your paddle with the Left/Right on the d-pad or the A/Y buttons.
    • AI has 1 difficulty... I call it "rediculus". It can be beaten though.. its just pretty hard.
  • Release 0.2: 11th June 2008
    • Added a main menu. Only the shared ds play works at the moment.
    • Using different method for drawing sprites, now middle gap (where mic is) is counted for.
    • Numerous speed improvements.
    • Fixed bug: Ball speeds going faster/slower depending what way ball is heading.
    • Ball bouncing off bat improved.
    • Possible bug: Ball hugging the wall after you hit it. (Please tell me if this happens).
  • Release 0.1: 10th June 2008
    • No AI.
    • No pause.
    • No standby.
As with all other homebrew DS games, installation is pretty simple provided you have the needed equipment. If you're having problems, however, you can always click on the Via link to contact the developer directly. Enjoy!
