    ---- SUMMARY ----
    In this highly confidential document we describe what we have found so far about the rules of Pongland. Your mission is to lead the "white dot" the fastest you can through the obstacles that show up in Pongland. On your way you will find many obstacles: dumb and smart paddles, invisible bars, moving platforms, attractive and repulsive items, sliding doors, stretching figures, puzzles, labyrinths, dungeons and so on. The laws of gravity and motion can change anywhere, anytime. It's your ability to discover the tricks on the way and avoid them as well as catching the bonuses. You are given a limited amount of time to complete each level. The fastest you overcome the obstacles the highest your score gets.

    ---- CONTROLS ----
    Sliding your finger on the screen will influence the dot's speed and direction. Longer the slide stronger the acceleration applied. Keep touching the screen and you will apply the acceleration continuously. Your ability to influence movement can be limited on a screen by screen basis. Sometimes you can influence movement vertically or horizontally only. Check the HUD (Head Up Display) for the available modes. For faster accelerations you can use the turbo mode: slide with two fingers. But remember that the turbo mode is available for a limited time.
    ---- INTELLIGENCE ----
    Our field agents have collected useful information regarding the Pongland surveillance system known as "OpenFeint". We have reports of global and local score tracking and a special achievements lock/unlock sub-system.

    ---- CONCLUSIONS ----
    Be fast, be smart, BE SQUARE!

    If you are unwavering in your quest for victory, Be2 may be one of the best apps you've played in a long time. I do wish that the controls were more straightforward, perhaps allowing for vertical and horizontal control on every screen. I've never been one to criticize difficulty, but Escape From Pongland can get ridiculously difficult at times.

    'Be2 - Escape from Pongland' may not be an easy game to enjoy, but the storyline and gameplay can be fun, if somewhat challenging to master.

    I genuinely wanted to like this game. It's based around a great concept and the writing gives it an entertaining personality, but the control scheme is just awful.
