Pong.EXE is a screamer game that draws inspiration from the classic 1970s video game Pong, created by RobBoberty in 2015. In this game, players compete against a computer-controlled paddle on the right side of the screen. The objective is to score 10 points before the computer wins. Players can control the paddle using arrow keys or a cursor that moves the paddle automatically in the direction of the cursor.
As players progress through the game, each time they score a goal, something strange happens in the background:
- 2 points: Strange yellow squares flash in the background.
- 4 points: A creepy clown flashes briefly, accompanied by a laugh. The computer-controlled paddle palette becomes twice as large as normal.
- 6 points: An edited image of a girl that might induce trypophobia appears. The background and paddle turn red and the ball becomes a skull.
- 7 points: A red-filtered image of an eye with a mouth edited in as the pupil appears. The screen starts shaking, making it harder to play.
- 9 points: A picture of a bloody severed mouth appears. Nothing else happens, but the computer-controlled paddle can now predict where the ball is going.
When players score 10 points, a flurry of screamer pictures appears, including a fan art of wide-mouthed Donald Duck, a close-up of a spider, a face-swapped image of a person and a kitten, the same images from the gameplay, a woman with no eyes and a wide mouth from Dane Boe's Scarier Faces video, a person photoshopped to have only one large cyclopean eye and a sharp-toothed mouth, the monstrous woman from Dead Birds, and Large Marge from Pee-wee's Big Adventure. An echoing scream accompanies these images as the game cuts to a black screen, followed by the credits.
There's also a "Kid Mode" difficulty within the game. In this version, all screamers are replaced with cats and the following happens:
- 2 points: Purring can be heard in the background.
- 4 points: The purring gets louder.
- 6 points: The screen starts to shake
- 8 points: The screen starts to shake harder.
When players score 10 points in this mode, a slideshow of cats is heard, along with meows.
