About Pungo

It’s a fast-paced indie action game about two cats squabbling over a yarn ball. White Eyes Studio made it, and it came out in December 2025 for PC, Mac, and Linux. Play solo against AI or team up with a friend in co-op or split-screen multiplayer. The goal is simple: grab the yarn ball and甩 it past your opponent. Power-ups like speed boosts and shields add chaos. It’s a short, punchy game, perfect for quick sessions. The art is cartoonish and cute, but the gameplay leans into frantic reflexes. If you like local multiplayer brawlers or silly physics-based challenges, this might hit the right notes.

Gameplay

You control a cat with basic movement, dash, jump, throw. The yarn ball bounces unpredictably, forcing you to track it mid-air or deflect it with your body. Matches last under two minutes, ending when one player scores. Power-ups drop randomly: sticky balls, speed boosts, and shields that absorb damage. Co-op modes team you with a partner to outscore opponents, while local multiplayer lets you fight face-to-face. Controls are light and responsive, with a slight learning curve for timing jumps and throws. The split-screen view gets cramped but retains clarity. Every session feels like a high-stakes game of keep-away, with momentum shifts from one second to the next.

What Players Think

82% of PlayPile users rate it 4 or 5 stars, but 73% finish the game in under 8 hours. The community mood is 60% “funny and frantic,” 25% “annoying,” and 15% “nostalgic.” Critics gave it a 7.5/10, praising its accessibility but calling the lack of depth “repetitive.” 68% of players unlock all kittens via achievements, which track things like “Win 100 matches” or “Use a power-up in a split-screen game.” Most multiplayer sessions top out at 3-4 hours, with 42% of users spending under $10 on it. “Feels like a childhood cat fight I never had,” one review says. Another grumbles: “Too short, but addictive for 10-minute bursts.”

PlayPile's Take

It’s a quick hit, not a long-term obsession. At $12.99, the price matches the content, a few dozen matches and unlockable cats. Great for casual co-op or solo reflex practice, but the single-player mode lacks variety. Achievements help stretch replay value, but the core loop wears thin after 10-15 hours. Best for friends with short attention spans or anyone who misses the chaotic charm of games like Slime Volleyball. If you want a cute, bite-sized multiplayer game, it’s a safe bet. Just don’t expect a deep story or evolving mechanics.
