Author's Description: Welcome to the realms of ÜberPong, a bizarre place where only those with great skills and quick reflexes come out victorious.
Pick one of the top contenders in the galaxy and take him to conquer all tournaments. It's up to you to achieve ecstasy through victory or taste the agony of defeat!
The objective of the game is to become the best über-player in the entire galaxy. In order to achieve this, you have in your hands the latest in elastic-paddle technology that will allow you to control the speed, bounce and direction of the ball at will.
The encounters are regulated under the popular Mexican rule of three-O-five (3-0-5). That is, the first player that obtains three goals in a row, without letting the opponent score, will win; otherwise the first player to score five points will be declared the winner of the match.
Master all techniques until you've become a legend as the greatest über-player of all times!
