Focus on one rule
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Reach eleven points with a two-point lead. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful example
An early hit is rejected; wait while positioning the paddle. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.
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. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
