## What is Contranoid?

The Chaotic Two-Player Telephone Game From 1897!

"Brilliant advertising. And brilliant idea for the game too." - Folks over at Hacker News

Contranoid is a fast-paced chaotic hybrid of Pong, Tetris and Arkanoid that literally pits you against your closest friend as you play against each other on the same device. 

Players control a paddle to catch balls bouncing back after ravaging the opponent's game field. White must destroy Black and get a ball across, while Black is trying to do the opposite. Catch different powerups to boost your own progress or to annoy your opponent and before you know it you've gathered a cheering crowd around you...

Contranoid offers multiplayer and single-player mayhem. With many achievements to unlock and leaderboards to compete in, Contranoid is the game of 1897 you don't want to miss!
