PLONG
A roguelike brick breaker with four paddles and a Daily Run.
Every day: A Daily Run mode: one run a day on procedurally generated stages, ranked on Steam leaderboards. New puzzle: Once a day.
PLONG is a coffee-break arcade roguelike that turns brick breaking around: you control four paddles at once on procedurally generated stages, with abilities and modifiers to collect. A Daily Run mode sets one run a day, with Steam leaderboards.
About PLONG
PLONG mixes Breakout with a roguelike. Instead of one paddle at the bottom, you guard the screen with several, and each run sends you through procedurally generated stages styled as a computer's file system, finding files that upgrade and customise your PLONG application between runs. Five abilities and more than twenty modifiers change how each run plays.\n\nIts Daily Run mode gives a single run each day, and the game uses Steam leaderboards to rank results.
PLONG is a paid game on Steam (about 2,49€ at the time of writing), made by Rob Gross.
How to play PLONG
- Start the Daily Run from the main menu.
- Keep the ball in play with your paddles.
- Break bricks and collect upgrades as you go.
- Survive the stages for the best score on the daily leaderboard.

Tips
