A simple addition to a simple game can make all the difference.

The goal of Pong is to be in the position to hit the ball when it comes to you and hope your opponent isn't, otherwise you have to do it again.

By making the ball a freaking gun, you also add positions you don't want to be at, positions that may align with where the ballgun will bounce.

Oh, and that annoying vertical zig-zag pattern that delays an ordinary game of Pong? In this game of Gung, the extra time the ballgun spends bouncing up and down can be used to rain copper upon your opponent.

Cool stuff to overanalyze. Oh and the game's good too.
