Atari Fosters Indie Spirit with Pong Developer Challenge

MultiPong Made Free For A Limited Time
Popular Universal game MultiPong is free at the moment and for a very good reason - developers Fingerlab has released the soundtrack for the game onto iTunes.
Priced at $2.76 for all four tracks, the MultiPong OST offers the best music from the game with each track specially edited and rearranged for soundtrack purposes.For the uninitiated MultiPong is a great physics based reimagining of the Pong way of gaming. Players must compete to defeat each other while the solo mode offers up a competitive AI opponent.
The graphical style keeps to a wooden board style appearance with the iPad version allowing up to 4 player multiplayer at once and the iPhone offering up to 2 players. With 7 different game modes ranging from classic to baby, crazy, flash and death ball, as well as a plethora of different bonuses, it makes for a pretty thrilling game that's well worth a look.
