What is Table Tennis?

Table Tennis is a match seen from your side of the table. You move the paddle left and right and the shot happens by itself when the ball arrives: where the ball hits the paddle decides where it goes. In the middle you hit straight and safe, on the edge you find the angles, but overdo it and the ball goes out. Every hit makes the rally faster.

How to play

• Move your paddle (red, at the bottom) with your finger or the mouse, or with A and D or the arrows: it hits by itself when the ball arrives.
• If the ball hits the middle of the paddle it goes back straight; on the edge it goes at an angle; too close to the edge and it goes off the table and the point goes to your opponent.
• If you miss the ball, the point goes to your opponent. With every hit in the rally the ball gets faster.
• To serve tap the screen (or press Space): the serve changes every 2 points, and every point from 10-10.
• The first to 11 points with at least a 2-point lead wins. Against the computer: 5 points for each point won, plus a bonus if you win the game.
• Two players: each player touches and moves the paddle in their own half of the screen (on a computer: player 1 with the mouse or A and D, player 2 with the arrows).

Tips

• Return to the centre after every shot: you'll reach every ball sooner.
• Hit slightly off-centre to send the ball away from your opponent, but not too much.
• In long rallies the ball is very fast: move as soon as your opponent hits.
