Touch Arcade:
The latest game from development studio Appstar, founded by industry legends David Crane and Garry Kitchen, is called Fling Pong – The Planets [$1.99], and is an arcade game with an odd premise. In Fling Pong, you're tasked with bouncing ping pong balls off the ground and landing them into a set of targets against a wall. The targets here are actually planets, and the concept is similar in a way to playing a game of skee-ball with the rolling of the ball replaced with bouncing. The presentation is really well done, with great looking graphics and excellent music, and altogether Fling Pong ends up being a simple but fun casual game.

Nine Over Ten 9/10 has put up a review for Appstar Games' latest release for the iPhone, Fling Pong - The Planets. The game can be best described as a cross between ping-pong and "Whack-a-mole" arcade gameplay.
Players are to bounce ping pong balls unto a wall with target holes in order to earn points to proceed to the next level.
"The whole Fling Pong experience could best be summed up as Skee-ball meets Beer Pong ...in space! Players will attempt to bounce a ping pong ball off of the floor and into one of the planets waiting on the back wall. Each planet has a point value, and if you score enough points in a certain time limit you’ll unlock the next stage. It sounds simple enough, but like the carnival-type games it’s based on, that simplicity doesn’t really capture the challenge that awaits you."
