Pong

Pong is the original arcade table-tennis game, stripped to two paddles and a bouncing ball. Slide your paddle to return every shot and outlast the computer in a fast rally to eleven points. Play Pong online free, with no download and no sign-up, on phone or desktop.

How to play

• Move your paddle up and down with the mouse, a finger, or the ↑ / ↓ keys.
• Click or press space to serve and start the rally.
• Return the ball past the computer to win the point.
• You concede a point whenever the ball gets past your paddle.
• The ball speeds up with every paddle hit, so rallies grow tense.
• First side to eleven points wins the match.

Where the ball meets your paddle changes its angle, so hit with the top or bottom edge to fire the ball to a corner the computer struggles to reach. Try to return to the center of your side between shots so you are ready for either direction. As the ball speeds up, watch its trajectory early rather than chasing it late.
