Personally, I had reviewed the older version on this site too!

The video above is filmed using the updated iPhone version on an iPad hence the graphics may not be as sharp as the HD version however, the HD version does have a slight pixels on the edges of the opponent’s paddle.

Cons

1. At first I thought there’s no pause button but later I realized you can pause a game using the “i” button which may not feel like a pause button.
2. If you leave your finger off the screen you need to quickly get back to your paddle and the paddle jumps slightly forward, not serious but just saying
3. Why must your control to your paddle lost during “Service Breaks”
4. Hope the developer can add in multiplayer online version so you can play with people all around the world! However not in the top down version thou

Overall, this game is highly addictive and you can potentially break a sweat while playing this game!! My neck muscle get so tensed & my finger get a little “burnt” due to prolong rubbing of the iPad screen! haha

Currently the price for the iPhone version is very cheap and the “not yet updated” iPad version is free so get it quick!
