Pause and decide

  • The game freezes when the ball reaches you. Pick a shot, then aim.
  • Mouse: move to aim, click to hit. Touch: drag to aim, tap Hit.
  • The arc shows the ball's path. The label shows how often that shot goes in for your level.
  • Keys: Q W T E R pick a shot · arrows nudge the aim · [ ] softer/harder · Enter hit

Real time: keyboard

  • Arrow keys move. Hold an arrow as you hit to aim that way.
  • Q dink · W drop · T reset · E drive (attack) · R lob
  • Space lets the game pick a shot for you. It also serves.
  • Press a shot key just before the ball reaches you.
  • P or Esc pause · M auto-move on/off · F frame rate

Real time: mouse or touch

  • Tap your side of the court to run there.
  • Tap the other side to aim your next shot.
  • Tap a shot button as the ball arrives. With auto-move on, tap it any time and the shot is saved for the next ball.

Rules to remember

  • Only the serving team scores. The score is called serving team, receiving team, server: 4-2-1.
  • The game starts at 0-0-2: the first serving team gets one server.
  • The return and the third shot must bounce.
  • No volleys while standing in the kitchen, and don't let your momentum carry you in after a volley.
  • If the ball hits you (or your partner) before it bounces, you lose the rally.
