HOW TO PLAY
Four steps to master the pong table.
Pick Easy, Medium, or Hard to set AI speed. Easy is great for beginners, Hard challenges even experienced players.
Move the mouse up/down over the canvas. On mobile: drag on the left half of the screen. Keyboard: arrow keys or W/S.
Keep the ball from exiting your left side. Where you hit the paddle affects angle — edges create sharper deflections.
First to 7 points wins the match. Ball speed increases with each paddle hit, making longer rallies increasingly intense.
