Pong with RPG mechanics. Hitting the ball grants you experience and gold that can be spent placing miniature buildings on the field. Knocking the ball into buildings triggers special effects like spawning troops or healing lost health.

A blue figure and a yellow figure knock a pong ball across a tiny landscape dotted with buildings.

"aprongi" was commissioned as part of the DreamboxXx, a custom arcade cabinet that has been on display across many NYC bars and venues such as Spectrum and All Night Skate. The game was featured in No Quarter in 2018.
