Review: Ping Redux (Nintendo Switch)
A love letter to the earliest generation of gaming, Ping Redux is soaked in its hyper retro influences. Everything from the music, to the design style, to the gameplay itself pays homage to Atari classics, as its Wii U predecessor Ping 1.5+ did before.
You play by controlling a small white cube as it rebounds around the walls and obstacles of each stage to reach an orange sphere, bouncing the fewest times possible on the way. If you exceed the bounce limit, you lose. Some of the more complex levels allow you a second (or possibly third) shot, allowing you to change your trajectory mid-move. But even with the extra shot, you still have to have precise aim and quick reflexes to win.
