A small practice goal

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What you need to achieve

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

  1. Serve.
  2. Move the lower paddle under the ball.
  3. Hit after the bounce near your baseline.
  4. A missed return gives a point.

Choosing and moving on screen

Pointer/paddle buttons; Hit / return; Space serves or hits. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.

An example to follow

An early hit is rejected; wait while positioning the paddle. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Consider the next action carefully.

Keep this in mind

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. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
