Der Punkt, den man spielt, bewegt sich von oben nach unten und dann wieder zurück. Von rechts kommen Gegner, denen man nur mit langsamer werden ausweichen kann. Pro Seitenwechsel bekommt man einen Punkt. Mit den Punkten kann man Skins für die Punkte freischalten.

toll ist es

Ein geschicklichkeitsspiel das auf dem einfachen prinzip beruht das eine kugel nach oben und unten
steuert und so den verschiedenen formen auszuweichen indem man die kugel verlangsamt. Hin und wieder kommen kleine helferchen wie ein
einfrieren der zeit oder eine explosion die das feld leer räumt.
Lässt sich gut spielen und hat auch keine bugs oder sonstige fehler.

Fazit:
Für 79 ct. kann man gut und gerne zuschlagen.

I'm a broken man. I cannot keep my bong binging. Continuing on the K.I.S.S. and minimalist modus operandi of game development Adam Nickerson gives us Bing Bong. A seemingly innocuous avoidance game which will test your perspective abilities. Simply stated, a ball on the left side of the screen vertically moves up and down and the player has the simple task of avoiding objects which originate from the right said of the screen. Sounds simple but it isn't and you will feel very inadequate when you fail. Recommended.

Bing Bong XL and its siblings, Pivot XL and Righty Tighty XL are all neat score-crushers. They share the same graphical and sound assets and some rules (like being controlled by a single button), but are distinguished by their game mechanics. They share decent music as well.


In my opinion, Bing Bong XL is the simplest but also the most difficult of the three games. You control a ball that bounces back and forth, granting a point on each bounce. Button-down slows it down, and that's all the control you get.

Enemies, essentially rectangles and polygons of various kind, simply fly past. Deceptively simple, it's still easy to miscalculate and get knocked back to the start.

And start again, obviously. One game lasts from a few seconds to only a few minutes. Gameplay is addicting and fast-paced, and every defeat is entirely your own fault, though it gets faster and more difficult later on.


As for achievements, a bit over an hour was all I needed for the skins and point-based achievements. After that, there's global leaderboards to chase.

It's certainly a game worth its cheap price, especially in a bundle that includes all three games at once (my Pivot XL review and my Righty Tighty XL review).

Bing Bong XL is another quality Nickervision title. It isn't my favorite one, but it's solid and is well worth the small asking price. I think the mechanic in this one is a bit simpler and less interesting. I also think there is potential squandered to make this slightly 'bigger' than it currently is. Things like functionally different unlocks and color scheme unlocks, etc. Doesn't matter. It's worth it regardless.

I really like the other XL games orbt, Diamo, and Ding Dong, but this one just feels... a bit bland? The gameplay itself is perfectly fine, I just wished it were a little more pleasing graphically and had better music (I've heard the song many times in the background of YouTube videos). I'd give it more of a 5/10, and would give it an "okay" rating if I could.

The game is 80 eurocents or your regional equivalent, point being that it costs nearly nothing, while delivering similar quality Nickervision's earlier games have.
The game isn't meant to be much, just a simple score attack game that you might play for a little bit and never touch again. It does this well, and manages to stay fun despite the repetitive gameplay, and I feel like I've already gotten my money's worth at 1,6 hours. In this time, I managed to get almost all the achievements, and I'll probably play it a bunch more considering the other games Nickervision has made.
So I feel like you almost can't go wrong with this purchase. For the price, it delivers a good amount of fun.

One button minimalist arcade game for a waste of time.
Ideally for play when you wait for something.

Bing Bong XL is a one button arcade action game in which you have to slow down the ball to avoid obstacles. The ball moves by itself and all you can do is slow it down to avoid obstacles. This makes for a pretty frustrating experience in some scenarios, because when you can't control your character properly well, you die obviously. It takes quite a bit of skill to get around 100 points!

I think the game only has one song, but it's good at least. The graphics and sound effects are pretty minimalist and you have a few balls to unlock to make the grind to a higher score a little more enjoyable.

At $1 it's hard not to recommend it. The game is addictive and you always want to reach that higher score, so it's got that kind of drive. I'd say it's worth buying.
