“This game has potential. The controls are simple but fun and the tactics are similar to the original pong, but with more complexity. The real draw-back right now is that they don't have enough people playing to make the…”

“Actually extremely good, really fun to play against friends, really challenging, skillcap is high too. Only servers are sometimes laggy, but anyway the game is amazing.”

“HECK YES. this is how arcade games should feel. nothing but me, my friends, and my eyes enjoying the view. great work dreamirl”
“The art style is what draws me in this game, gameplay was trying to be unique but it feels very clunky and unclear on what is happening. In addition with the lack of Asia servers, it feels like there is a delay when a…”

“I am downright addicted to Exoblast. Yes, you heard it right. The gameplay, the music, it harmonizes so darn well, it took me less than an hour of playtime to ask the developers "where soundtrack release", only to find…”
“You really should make a downloadable soundtrack for this game, I want to listen to the music without having to have the game running =P Oh edit: I live in the US”

“This game is so fun I cant recommend it enough. It really is an easy to play hard to master type of game with intense short games. I had no problem of server lags but i'm close to the EU server.”

“New version is way better to understand and really straight to the point. Take 2 controllers and play with your friend on your couch !”
“I played this game occasionally online with my friends and i found it to be very competitive. There were still some things to tweak and some lag to adjust. For example it lacked fluidity in the movement and i found no…”
“This game takes the basic aspects of a air hockey or pong game and turns them into a more action packed game of strategy and skill, leaving it closer to something like Lethal League. If you're looking for a high paced…”

“Seems poorly optimized. I have a gaming laptop that isn't anything top tier, but this game causes me to get freeze frames when I don't have any issues in frame drops on many AAA games. It's a fun game, just wish…”
“Unplayable, just unplayable. And the worst about it is that the game look really crazy! But I just can't play even against AI.”

“Nobody : Absolutely nobody : Dreamirl : "Hey guys, what if we did a competitive PvP game out of Pong ?" It's free, fast-paced and has that "easy to learn, hard to master" core from all good arcade games. Please install…”
“Exoblast is all but a dead game, and it's not because of it's design, but because it's developers lethargic attitude. In order to play online, the game requires you to fight Server based AI for the first level. Then and…”

“Although a bit buggy, the game mechanics alone are enough to make this a super enjoyable experience! Although premium is a complete waste, don't even bother.”

“Great game guys, having a real blast with it so far. I joined the DIscord and I'm excited to see Pongarena take off. Edit: It was better as Pongarena. Exoblast only has 3 players and two of them were me and my friend.”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“interesting technical challenge. the game is not revolutionary by any means, yet the technical part of it is something worth looking into. It is full javascript, which means the game can be loaded in seconds and if for some bug or unforeseen trouble, the servers crashes, it took…”

This probably won't be the case for most people, I just happen to live somewhere where there are no decent servers for it. So for most people I recommend giving…”
