How to play Pong

Pong is the original arcade tennis game. Slide your paddle to send the ball back; if your opponent misses, you score a point. The first player to reach the target score wins the match.

The ball speeds up with every hit, and striking it with the edge of your paddle sends it off at a sharper angle. Play the computer on Easy, Normal or Hard, or pick 2 players to share the keyboard or a touch screen. On a phone the court turns upright, with your paddle at the bottom.

• Players 1 or 2
• Mode Against the computer, or two players on one device
• Plays on Phone, tablet and desktop
• Price Free, no sign-up

Pong rules

• The ball bounces off the side walls and the paddles.
• If the ball gets past a paddle, the other player scores a point.
• The player who conceded receives the next serve.
• The ball gets faster with every hit in a rally.
• The first player to reach the target score (5, 7 or 11) wins.
