Really nice and fun the new game developed to show the potential of the Google Chrome browser that is very reminiscent of the old Pong, that ancient game where you have to reject a ball with a finger that moves horizontally on the screen and score goals against the opponent. It is a 3D Pong game that can be an online challenge with a friend or that can be played against the computer.
In Cube Slam you have to try and bounce a ball so you can hit the wall behind the opponent's racquet.
The player who scores three points wins the game.

The peculiarity of Cube Slam lies in the online match for two with a friend who connects via the internet to the same address (for example //www.cubeslam.com/pomhey).
If the players activate the webcam, you can play by looking the opponent in the face because his face is projected on the wall that needs to be hit, as a game background.
In practice it is as if you were throwing the ball across the computer screen to hit the friend with whom you are playing in the face.
This peculiarity makes the game really fun, as if you were playing with a person in front of us, in the same room, even if he or she is on the other side of the world.
If you cannot find a friend, you can also play against the computer, which is represented by a cartoon bear.
In this case the game, however pleasant with 3D graphics, is at increasing difficulty levels.
Cube Slam can only be played using the Chrome browser and also with Firefox latest version which supports WebRTC, WebGL and three.js, the technologies with which this game was developed.
WebRTC allows you to chat on video via browser without using external plugins.
If there are no firewalls, the communication between the two players takes place in peer to peer and passes through the server provided by Google.
You can play Pong online in 3D in other ways, as already seen in other articles on the best online games with the webcam to play with your hands and on the site to play the old Atari games.
