You get a secondary weapon by shooting a pink weapons box. Some give weapons like lasers or flying razor blades, some give pernament powerups like speed and some give temporary powerups like invincibility. The ball can go past a paddle ten times before the other player wins. You also win if the opposing paddle is completely destroyed.
Our Review: FirePong II adds a new dimension of war to the normally placid game of Pong. Pong is the classic tennis game in which you bounce a ball off two paddles - one per player. FirePong keeps to this gameplay but adds the extra feature of being able to fire weapons from your paddle at the other players paddle. In this way you can destroy or maim the other players paddle to give yourself an advantage. It's a furiously fast game - perhaps a little too fast on high end Macs.
