The gameplay is quite barebones, but I don't think that's bad – you can see a short GIF below. It's fun for a few minutes, but I would say the sound effects can sometimes get on my nerves, some are probably too loud. Sadly, there's no music, we're going full old-school here.

I couldn't try it, as I'm quite a lonely loli, but I bet the 2-player mode could be fun. As the first player keeps their control scheme, the opponent will use X and B to move up and down, and Y to shoot, and I'm sure that trying to shoot your friend while distracting them with a white ball could only ever do good for your friendship.

A quite fun fact (but which got me a bit scared...) is that... well, I was having a simple game, and all of a sudden – I think because I did the very rare move where my bullet hit the enemy at the same time as the ball did, or at the same time as the ball went outside the field – the game's audio glitched, and there started the destruction of my ears due to the sound of that moment being played forever.

The game continued playing just fine though, except for the audio. Take a look at the video I shoot (unfortunately, it doesn't catch the moment the glitch got triggered):

For the end of this review, here you can go and visit the official Git repository for the game (which is libre software under the GPL-3.0), where you can find the code and assets as well as the compiled .NDS ROM, for trying on your own terms: <https://github.com/Jonatan6/Pistol-Pong-DS>. Or, maybe, you can try the game via the embedded web emulator below for a quick evaluation, too! Give it a shot (get it?), really.
