Atari Announces Qomp 2 Coming In 2024 To Multiple Platforms
Atari has brought back another classic title and modernized it for a sequel as we'll be getting Qomp 2, sometime in 2024.
Atari has announced another sequel to a classic title this morning, as they will be releasing Qomp 2 in 2024 for PC, consoles, and mobile devices. Working with developer Graphite Lab, the company has taken the original concept and given it a modern feel, as they have taken Pong, flipped it on its head, and are making you navigate obstacle courses as the infamous dot that traveled across the screen. Can you solve the puzzles and escape? Enjoy the trailer below while we wait to hear about an official release date.
"Qomp 2 stays true to its indie roots while adding new types of puzzles and enemies and an innovative new game mechanic — a second button! In addition to the original button that shifts your direction 45 degrees, this additional button propels you forward with a dash. Armed with only these two simple moves, players will put their problem-solving skills to the test as they navigate environmental puzzles while avoiding traps in order to make it to the next level."
- Cerebral Puzzling: The simple, two-button controls belie complex and compelling gameplay. Use your reflexes to think ahead and master 30 tricky levels. Hidden collectibles on the map push you to explore every inch of the creatively rich minimalist environment.
- Bounce Between Emotions: qomp2 is an enigmatic story of doubt, fear, and self-acceptance, told wordlessly with simple animations, effects, and the game mechanics themselves — a surprising twist based on the classic Pong.
- Surprises Galore: If the game's premise doesn't raise an eyebrow, just wait until you dive into the challenges, which get increasingly difficult as you master new aspects of gameplay. And don't worry, death is not the end in this arcade-inspired world. Quick respawn makes sure you're back in the action in seconds.
- Bountiful Bosses: Four bosses block your escape at the end of each world. Use your newfound skills to master their attacks and defenses in order to move on. Much like a real game of Pong, you must be prepared to defend your position!
