About this tool

A classic game where a ball is knocked back and forth. Play against the computer at three difficulty levels, or grab the left and right paddles with a friend on one device. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is sent to a server.

How to use

  1. Pick your opponent: the computer (easy, normal, hard) or two players.
  2. Move your paddle with the arrow keys or W and S. You can also drag up and down on screen.
  3. The ball flies at a sharper angle the closer to the paddle edge it lands, and speeds up a little with every rally.
  4. First to 11 points wins. Press New game to start over.

Frequently asked questions

How do two people play on one device?
Choose Two players: the left paddle uses W and S, the right uses the arrow keys. On a touch screen, drag on the left and right halves to control each paddle.
What changes with difficulty?
It changes how accurately the computer reads the ball and how quickly it follows. Hard almost never misses, so try to beat it on angles.
Does the ball get too fast to see?
Its speed is capped, so it never becomes uncontrollable, but the later rallies do test your reflexes.
