Learn how to play this Pong-style table-tennis game and the tricks that win rallies, then take the first to 7 in the board above.
Two paddles knock a ball back and forth. Get the ball past your opponent's paddle to score. The first player to reach 7 points wins.
Every time the ball slips past a paddle, the other player scores a point. Play continues until someone reaches 7.
Where the ball strikes your paddle changes its angle. Hitting it with the edge sends the ball out sharply, which is harder for your opponent to reach.
After each hit, drift back toward the middle so you can cover a shot to either side rather than being caught out of position.
Track where the ball is heading and move early. Small, timed adjustments beat frantic last-second lunges.
Move your paddle to bounce the ball back and get it past your opponent. Each ball that gets by scores a point, and the first to 7 points wins. Play the AI or a friend.
In horizontal mode use W and S or the up and down arrows; in vertical mode use A and D or the left and right arrows. Touch screens show on-screen buttons.
It is a Pong-style table-tennis game. Pong is a trademark of Atari, so this version is called Paddle Battle, but it plays like the classic two-paddle arcade game.
Return every ball, angle your shots off the paddle edge, stay centred to cover both sides, and be first to 7 points.
