Step by step
- Serve.
- Move the lower paddle under the ball.
- Hit after the bounce near your baseline.
- A missed return gives a point.
Controls
Pointer/paddle buttons; Hit / return; Space serves or hits. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
An early hit is rejected; wait while positioning the paddle. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
The ball-flight model is timing-based, not full tournament physics. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
