A Tiny Game of Pong, a classic coming to Apple Watch (and free for a limited time)

When Apple introduced the Apple Watch In September 2014, he made it very clear that controlling the interface by touching the screen may not be the best idea. The watches have a very small screen. It is true that we have space to make some gestures, but we will cover the screen and we will not be able to see what we are doing. That's why they introduced two new features: the Force Touch display and the Digital Crown. The size of the screen is the main impediment why developers have not created interesting games for the Apple Watch until it has arrived A Tiny Game of Pong.

But beware, don't expect a first-person shooter with impressive graphics, no. Actually A Tiny Game of Pong is just that, a small game of Pong, a title that was released in 1972. And what is it about? Well it is a kind of tennis o Ping Pong in which a square point acts as a ball and the lines at the bottom represent what the rackets would be. And why is it a good game? Well, because its controls are simple enough so that at any time we open it and start playing from our wrist.

The classic Pong comes to the Apple Watch

A Tiny Game of Pong has two game modes, one Arcade endless (until we lose) and one of Play-offs. At the moment it is free with integrated purchases that will unlock the Play-offs mode and will also allow the color of the action to match that of our strap, something that I do not see necessary. But, on the other hand, it would also look very good.

To control our racket we will have to roll the Digital Crown. Although this is better than tapping the screen to make Flappy Bird fly, I also wish there was an option to move our racket with the accelerometer. In any case, I think you have to take advantage of the opportunity and download it now that it is free for a limited time. What do you think about the game?
