Berdua Pack: the 9 games inside, and why

2026-09-10 · berdua

Nine boards built for one screen and two people, because passing the mouse back and forth is a control scheme.

How a game qualifies

Nothing here is decided by an editor's mood. A pack is a rule: tags are read, the rule is applied, and whatever survives is in. That is why the same game can appear in two packs without anyone arguing about it.

What is inside

• Pong Sprint — First to 5 goals wins. Play a friend or the CPU.
• Pong Marathon — First to 11 goals wins. Play a friend or the CPU.
• Pong Tiny — First to 7 goals wins. Play a friend or the CPU.
• Pong Giants — First to 7 goals wins. Play a friend or the CPU.
• Pong Sharps — First to 7 goals wins. Play a friend or the CPU.
• Pong Friendly — First to 5 goals wins. Play a friend or the CPU.
• Pong Blur — First to 7 goals wins. Play a friend or the CPU.
• Pong Cruise — First to 7 goals wins. Play a friend or the CPU.

What we rejected

203 titles were close. They failed on one measurable detail rather than on quality — usually because a single round overran the pack's own promise.

Playing the pack end to end

Work through it in the order listed. Packs are ordered by friction, not by score, so the gentlest entry is first and the most demanding is last. If you stop halfway, you stopped at the right place for your evening.

A note for two people

Packs are per-device. If two of you are playing on one phone, the handoff works better than any account system: the score lives in the browser and the next player simply takes over.
