Your goal
Reach eleven points with a two-point lead. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. 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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
The ball-flight model is timing-based, not full tournament physics. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
