Pong and Ikaruga Make Sweet Love

Daddy? Where do new games come from?

Well, son. When a man's game like Pong and a woman's game like Ikaruga meet at an internet cafe, they talk and laugh and maybe exchange a couple giggle bytes. After a few dates, if they find out they really, really love each other, they rent a cheap studio in a shabby part of town, lock themselves in and get down to write game code. What you get in the end is Pong-Karuga, the love child of Odd Man Out Studios, and is a free game you can download here.

Yep, free! And that's why we can't afford to give you a baby sister because the developers aren't making money off of this project. What they are is a group of like-minded video game fans hoping to break into the games industry.
