About

A clean, fast-paced table tennis experience against an AI opponent. Your goal is simple: return the ball for as many consecutive rallies as possible. The paddle angle determines the ball's trajectory, so precise positioning is everything.

With each rally, the ball speeds up and the AI becomes faster and more accurate. What starts as a gentle volley quickly escalates into a test of reflexes and anticipation. The game auto-rotates to portrait mode on tall screens for a natural feel.

Difficulty

The ball speed increases exponentially with each rally. The AI opponent also improves — it reacts faster, moves quicker, and makes fewer mistakes. Early rallies are forgiving; later ones demand precise paddle control.

Scoring

Your score equals the number of consecutive rallies before the ball passes your paddle. When the AI misses, the ball resets and the rally continues. Your personal best and last five scores are stored locally in your browser.
