Tips & Strategy
Watch the ball's trajectory and position your paddle early. Don't just react — anticipate where the ball will go. Hitting the ball with the edge of your paddle sends it at a steeper angle, making it harder for your opponent to return. Keep your paddle near the center when the ball is on your opponent's side so you're ready for any return angle. Vary your paddle position to keep your opponent guessing. Speed control is key — fast returns give your opponent less time to react.
Game Features

How Scoring Works
Each time the ball passes your opponent's paddle, you score 1 point. First player to reach 5 points wins the match. After the match, both players can request a rematch to play again instantly.
