"Solid physics make it a snap to learn... The musical score for Fling Pong - The Planets takes iPhone soundtracks to a whole new level. Musically, Fling Pong feels like a lost snippet from Fantasia. It's epic and overpowering... Fling Pong - The Planets should be considered money well spent."

"The presentation is very well done, with great looking graphics and excellent music... the graphics… look especially remarkable on the iPad version. Fling Pong - The Planets is also pretty darn fun, and with a phenomenal musical score, it should keep you entertained for some time."

Featuring out-of-this-world graphics taken from actual Hubble Telescope imagery, FLING PONG - THE PLANETS HD LITE takes you to another galaxy of arcade fun. The object of the game is simple; bounce a ping pong ball toward a wall of target holes in an attempt to get the ball in the hole. In "The Planets" the target holes are represented by the 8 planets of our Solar System (sorry, Pluto).
