How to play Pong
Each player controls a paddle on one side of the table. The ball goes back and forth: if it gets past your paddle, your opponent scores a point. The first to 7 points wins the match.
Where the ball hits the paddle changes its direction: in the middle it comes back straight, near the tips it leaves at a steep angle and is harder to defend. With every return the ball gets a little faster, so long rallies get more and more tense.
Against the computer, choose Easy, Medium or Hard and move your paddle (the yellow one, on the left) with W/S, the arrow keys, the mouse or by dragging your finger. In 2-player mode, the left player uses W and S and the right player uses the arrow keys; on the phone, each player touches their own half of the screen. P or Esc pauses.
Frequently asked questions
How do I beat the computer on Hard?
Hit the ball with the tip of your paddle to send it off at a steep angle, bouncing off the edges. The faster and steeper the ball, the harder it is for the computer to reach it in time.
Can two people play on a phone?
Yes. Choose “2 players”, set the phone down between you and each one drags a finger on their own half of the screen. The screen accepts both touches at the same time.
Are my wins saved?
The game counts how many times you have beaten the computer on each difficulty. The count is saved in your browser, on this device.
