Bounce

Bounce is a fast paced 3D action game for the XO laptop. The game is analogous to the arcade game Pong, however it takes place within a three dimensional box with physical effects such as gravity.

Additionally, Bounce features an editor which allows children to create their own version of the game.

Bounce was initially called 3dpong, and was written during the 2007 Boston Game Jam where it took second prize.

Multiplayer

Cool game :) . Would be nice to be able to play multiplayer with other XO's. Each Paddle could even take on the XO colors (not the inside, since they must be transparent).HoboPrimate 04:20, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

Thanks! Yes, multiplayer is definitely on the list for the next major version. wade 12:11, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
