How many of you have ever wanted to play a ping pong game on their phone? I’ll probably guess that maybe two of you raised your hand and the rest of you just laughed at me. Let me tell you though that I may have found a ping pong game that’s actually fun and well worth a look. It’s called I’m Ping Pong King and it’s actually pretty fun and easy to pick up and play.

I’m Ping Pong King isn’t flashy. It’s labeled as a minimalist game where the characters are drawn up like stick figures and the table is this cute little line drawing. The background is done in a simple, solid colors and while the art is simple, it’s actually one of the things that caught my eye in the first place and got me to download the game.

Aside from the interesting art style, I also really enjoy the jazzy sound track. It’s not something I would associate with ping ping but it works for this game.

Gameplay is very simple for I’m Ping Pong King. Basically depending on where your opponent hits the ball, you would tap on the left or right side of the screen to hit it back. If you tap the wrong side, you miss. There really isn’t much skill involved with the game and for the most part it’s mainly a game to test your reflexes.

There isn’t much else to the game. It’s pretty fun, but does get a bit repetitive. I mean it is a ping pong game after all. I will say that it’s a good ping pong game that could do with a few extra game modes and maybe a multiplayer mode. Other than that, I would say to try it out. It’s a pretty interesting take on the game of ping pong and if you’re a fan of the sport, you’ll probably enjoy this.
