A downloadable game

Ping is a fast, neon-soaked tribute to the very first arcade classics. Two paddles, one ball, and a simple rule: the first to 11 points wins.

  • Play solo against the console, or with a friend on the same screen
  • Retro synthwave look and soundtrack
  • Free, with no ads and no in-app purchases

Ping runs on PlayPi, a free and open-source games console that turns a Raspberry Pi into a retro and indie console.

A PlayPi game does not run on Super PlayPi, and vice versa.

How to install

  1. Install PlayPi on a microSD card: download the image for your Raspberry Pi from playpi.games/download and flash it with balenaEtcher.
  2. Boot the console once so it can prepare the card.
  3. Insert the microSD card into your computer, open the drive called data, and copy ping.plpi or ping.splpi into its games folder.
  4. Put the card back into the Raspberry Pi: Ping appears in the menu.

Any USB or Bluetooth controller works. No controller? The free PlayPi Pad app turns an Android phone (Android 9+) into a Bluetooth controller: get it on playpi.games/download.
