Pong · How to play
Pong is a compact paddle duel against the computer or another player on the same device. Cover the height the ball will reach rather than reacting only when it arrives.
Controls
Press 1 for solo or 2 for local two-player. Q/A and P/L move paddles; touch controls included.
Rules & goal
- Choose solo or local two-player mode and follow the start prompt.
- Move your paddle vertically to return the ball.
- A ball passing the opposing paddle earns a point. Follow the score and round prompts.
Beginner tips
- After a return, move toward a position that covers both upper and lower shots.
- Two-player mode shares one device; it is not online matchmaking. Agree on the keyboard controls first.
Progress & devices
Play in a desktop or mobile browser using the controls above. Some games save only in the current browser; clearing site data can remove saves. Pause when stepping away. Reloading is not guaranteed to preserve the current round.
