One summer, one paddle, and a megacorp that wants every court in the city.
A lot has changed in Paddlefield City since you were a kid in 1982. 18 years later, a longing for home brings you back.
What starts as a bar gig pulls you into an insidious plot to take over the city, and your Ping Pong heritage makes you the only one who can stop it. It won't be easy. You'll have to get stronger, make allies and take on the elusive Big Five.
And the only way to do it... Pong.
Most matches start like any game of Ping Pong. But then the monks start punching the ball back, a dancer breaks into a routine, and a pinball purist, well, plays pinball. Every match brings its own strategy.
You've got a few tricks behind your paddle too. With help from your friends and the Paddle Shop, you'll unlock new abilities to bring onto the court. But don't get too comfortable. Paddles wear out, so you'll need to get familiar with a lot of styles.
On tournament days, head to the Community Centre. Win your matches, take on unique events and unravel more of what Paddlefield City has in store.
During downtime, experience more of what the city has to offer. Meet strange and wacky characters, take part in quiz nights, river cleanups, dance nights and so much more.
Plan your days out or go with the flow. Just remember, you've got a megacorp to stop, so time is of the essence!
* But don't stress out too much, it's bad for the knees.
Along the way, you'll make friends. Support them in their endeavours and they'll support you. Get close enough and a friend will come and stand courtside at your matches.
Experiment with different court partners. Just don't be surprised if they get mad when they find out.
6+ minigames, from bar shifts to book avalanches
7+ potential match partners, each with a story of their own
At least one pet (I'm not saying how many)
