What is Long Pong?
Long Pong is what happens when you take the world's simplest game and add the one feature nobody asked for: waiting. Play ping pong with friends asynchronously - take up to 7 days per turn because let's be honest, you're busy (scrolling through TikTok).
Problem
Users struggle to coordinate schedules for real-time ping pong games, leading to difficulty in maintaining regular play sessions and requiring immediate time commitments that conflict with busy lifestyles.
Solution
A web-based async ping pong game tool where users can play turns with up to 7 days per move, eliminating the need for simultaneous availability. Example: Friends take turns hitting the ball when convenient.
Customers
Busy professionals, remote teams, and friends with conflicting schedules who want casual gaming without real-time coordination.
Unique Features
Asynchronous gameplay with no time pressure, 7-day turn window, and simplicity mimicking real ping pong physics.
