PP Inflation
Steam
PP INFLATION pays tribute to classic arcade ping-pong games, except you don't control your paddle. Instead, spend points on upgrades, maximizing your points-per-minute.

At certain score milestones, pick from a random choice of 3 upgrades to unlock, and level them up as you earn more points. Your build takes shape one decision at a time and compounds the further you go. Freely reallocate skill points to optimize your point-income.
Unlocked skills range from passive income, to debuffs for the enemy paddle, to buffs for your own paddle. Some naturally combine well together, while others have special synergies or unlock other skills that make them even more powerful. A few examples:
Leveling up your skills costs increasing amounts of points, so you decide between specializing or spreading your points around. Eventually, you'll unlock the exponentially more powerful "SPECIAL SKILLS", which can drastically multiply your point gains based on your build.
Score enough points and you'll progress to the NEXT STAGE. Each stage has a theme and a few unique flavor interactions with the stage environment that can even earn you extra points. Each stage requires exponentially more points to reach: 1000 -> 10,000 -> 100,000 -> 1,000,000.
Once you complete all stages, your CLEAR TIME and peak PTS/MIN are recorded on a personal leaderboard.
