Ping.io is another new .io game by Voodoo, and possible one of the most innovative ones yet. You play in a four-player version of ping pong, essentially, and your goal is to beat every other player on the board, out of about four players. You can improve your rank and play against harder opponents each time that you win, too. Read on for some tips and tricks for Ping.io!
One little secret about this game is that the other players aren’t actually other players. They are all computer-controlled, which is why you can load the game instantly and why you can still play the game under no-signal or bad-signal conditions. Being that these are computer-controlled characters, you’ll notice patterns in their movements after awhile, allowing you to take advantage of them.
Target the opposing player with the least amount of points left until they die. Change the direction that you hit the ball by hitting it on a specific side: for example, if you hit the ball on its right side, you’ll hit the ball to the left. And if you’re moving toward the ball when you hit it, you’ll hit it with a bit more force, too.
There are constantly balls bouncing off of other balls in this game, due to the three balls that are always on the board, so you can use this to your advantage. Bounce balls off of each other to send them off in unexpected directions that are tough for your opponents to hit. Or if you have multiple balls coming toward you, bounce them off of each other and defend yourself against both of the balls at the same time.
There are not any skins in the game, currently, but they are always added to the game later on by Voodoo. There is also no currency in the game, so when the skins do show up, you’ll have to complete specific actions in order to unlock them. Some will be easier than others and some will be harder than others. The skins will change the cosmetics, but not the gameplay itself.
Some levels are a different shape than others; or, at least, they appear to be a different shape. All of this is cosmetic, though, just like the skins. All of the levels are shaped like a square. So if you play a level and it appears to be shaped like a circle, don’t be fooled; all of that extra land is unusable, and the level is still the usual square-shape.
