PingBall just got a major update:
-Now a total of 20 original levels
-Fans that disturb the trajectory of the balls
-Steam leader board now supported for each difficulty, compete with the world!
-Offline mode if you are shy and prefer to compete locally
-New refreshed user interface
April 20th
Let there be light: added lighting effect on balls
April 17th
New update with 4 new original levels !!
Also, Level 3 has been made easier (its length was too long, making it harder to reach at low speed)
Thank you for your support and make sure we are still improving the game:
Not only are we adding new levels on a regular basis, we are also working on adding online score board, more power-ups and multiplayer!
April 14th
We just added 2 new power-up special bricks with our last update:
- GHOST: make the wall invisible for 7s : get lost in space, don't lose your balance.
- GRAVITY: inverse the gravity : physic gets upside-down for 7s : just when you thought you were getting used to it.
Have fun!
About the Game
PingBall is an easy to grasp, physically accurate and intuitive crossover between racquetball and breakout.Your goal is to clear multiple levels by breaking bricks while swinging a racquet.
There are currently 20 original levels design with difficulty and obstacles variation (even disrupting fans!). But it doesn't stop there: after you complete a full round, the next 20 levels require bricks to be hit twice while their size get smaller or pulsate, for a total of 120 different experiences! Some bricks have power-up like extra ball, multi-ball, slow-time. ghost or gravity modifier. The game includes both a local and online Score board per difficulty to track your improvements.
It is an excellent workout and it is fun to play!

Simple, but very cool game.
Sometimes the ball bounces high, sometimes it bounces low. I have no idea why. That's why it's hard to predict where the ball will go. You basically have to play this game on casual and use lots of time slowdown powerups. I like a challenge as much as the next person, but it seems balls bounce low to the ground or hug the wall to your far corner much too often. This is my least favorite racquet/ brick breaker VR game.
Rating 4/10. Just buy any of the other racquet / brick breaker VR games other than this one.
Love this game! It's well presented with nice graphics and solid physics, and very challenging at certain stages. Highly recommended.
They include a "slow-mo" gameplay element and added a "casual" mode to mask the fact that the mechanics of the game are not refined or fulfilling. This game has potential but needs work on mechanics.
Pingball is enjoyable, additive and polished - great fun for everyone and all for an unbelievable price. It's much better now that there's a "casual" option as we found that "Easy" was a little too difficult for new players.
I personally find someting to be odd with movement and speed of the balls, on easy, and they are rarely where I expect them. Have no problem in other similar games. Gameplay simply iritates me therefore I have stopped playing this game. I might suggest to the game producers to include some other profiles with regards the balls and walls physics which might better suit some players. Will revisit this review in the future.
Cannot recommend this game. The physics seem way off from what I expected. Most of the return balls come back right at your feet or so close to your body that a racquet isn't appropriate. A shield would be a better option. The balls require too light of a touch. Hitting them hard, like a racquet is made for, will make them return near light speed. In this case, again, a shield would be a better option. The premise is a great one and could be extremely fun if the physics worked better. The playfield may need to be bigger to be able to hit the ball harder and give the player more time to react. Holoball is a great example.
With some playablility changes, this would be an awesome game!
Maybe one of the most frustrating games I have played in VR; the ball just ends up going too fast and bounces off the walls way too hard and way too much, feels like I am trying to catch a fly in midair. You maybe will have better luck but for me it was not fun. For a ping pong VR game, it is kind of dull looking as well.
PingBall VR is fun, easy to pick up action game for VR ! The physics are accurate and the slow-mo mode is awesome.
Pingball, as far as I had played it, has a lot of potential. It is a nice casual game easy to play but tough to master. The power ups add a lot of fun, and it is highly replayable since they are randomly generated, always a new challenge. The physics is good enough to make me actually feel I am there. The ball responds well to how strong you hit it and rebounds are accurate.
The price seems reasonable since the game is constantly updated and new content has already been announced.
Overall a nice little indie game!
Good game and addictive. One of my favourite games in VR is Holoball and I must say this is running it close.
Like the overall feel of the game and the sound fits it well. Well worth the entry fee.
Entertaining and challenging Racketball-breakout style VR game! Nice graphics, great background music and immersive gameplay with roomscale support and good physics. Check my first-impression VR gameplay of Pingball in Mixed Reality view:

I guess the video gameplay says it all, but to sum it up, I really enjoyed playing PingBall! Its very good looking graphic-wise, with great sounds and lovely relaxing music in the background. The ball physics feels surprisingly realistic, and the racket-handling with the Vive controllers is spot on! For the price, its well worth to try out - and if the developers add more levels soon (which they surely will), Im sure most of you could enjoy this VR experience for hours and have fun! PingBall is also a very nice show-off game for people to try out VR for the first times, as its immersive and entertaining with perfect roomscale-gameplay.
The good parts:
+ Graphics are great, sharp and colorful
+ Sounds and music is awesome, especially the background music!
+ Slow motion and other power-ups is a cool idea - especially multiball!
+ Physics and ball handling feel realistic, no glitches or issues whatsoever!
+ Solid racket handling and control system overall
+ No problems playing in small play space area (2.5x2m)
+ Levels are different from eachother, good variation
+ 3 levels of difficulty, and even Easy mode is quite challenging!
+ Mixed Reality (unity engine support) is working great and looks cool!
The less good parts:
- Couldnt find much, except that I want to see more levels, more power ups, more content in future updates! And hopefully some multiplayer mode and online score board as well :)
This game is a lot of fun. I like the fact that there is some gravity for once in a ball/racquet game with predictable trajectory.
Pros:
-nice graphic and ambience, sound effects
-level variety (but not enough?)
-love when I hit multi ball, way to clean a level fast
-slow motion is a nice touch, you have to really think twice beofre using it as it is a limited resource
-got me scared of hitting my walls :) good thing you see your solid game area
-realisitc bounces, predictable (unless you hit the anti-gravity tile !)
-no hit misses so far
-power up adds variety
-replayability (I want to beat my score)
Cons:
-UI a bit confusing: took me a while to realize I have to stay on the button to press them, to try out a level you have to use the training button, new will start a level 1 (for score consistency I presume?)
-Hard difficulty is way too hard, ball bounces way too crazy. Moderate was fun though (but hard)
-I would love to have more than 10 different levels, even though after I completed all 10, it started over at 1 with the brick needed to be hit twice
-no global score leaderboard? I want to compare my score with the entire world :) !
-more power up please :) !
Overall a nice little game, very addictive and got me sweating. Definitely worth the price in its current state and I am sure they will keep adding features.
