Pros and cons of eXtreme Paddle-IP app for iPhone and iPad

eXtreme Paddle-IP app good for

This game is super fun! Its hard at first, but once you get the hang of it, its hours of entertainment! Its ideal for all ages, and helpful to keep children entertained. The different levels add different types of challenges. Extreme paddle is awesome!

I could begin playing this game immediately. Its a great feature for busy people who are just trying to find a game without studying how to play. The network game option is an intereting idea. Now I can play this ultra micro tennis with anybody on this planet.

First off, the readme says this isnt pong. Levels 1, 2 and 3 come pretty close, although up and down not sideways, and the color scheme isnt pong. However levels 4, 5, and 6 go beyond pong. As a matter of fact, the bouncing vertical paddle in levels 5 and 6 can be quite frustrating and definitely keeps you on your toes. Its cost me plenty of lost volleys. The graphics of the game are not the best but they do not detract from the game play at all. As you play, the ball (or orb as the game calls it) gets faster. No big deal until the volley count gets above 20. If you make it to 30 volleys, the ball is really moving. I can get to 20 on a fairly regular basis but 30 is few and far between. Nobody I know of has made it to 40 yet. Perhaps the game should include a high score feature to see if anybody can get that high (consider that a suggestion). The game is fun enough to play solo (against the computer) but the IP portion of the title implies network ability. There are actually 3 dual player options. You can play two people on a single device (iPhone or Touch), you can two people on a WiFi connection each with their own device, or two people can play with a bluetooth connection. The bluetooth option allows play while sitting in the car or sitting in a restaurant or even sitting in a meeting (not that Ive ever done the later). There have been several free updates (new features added) to the game to its probably a game that will continue to improve over time.
