About Table Tennis

Table Tennis is ping pong reduced to what matters: a bat, a ball, a table and an opponent who returns everything until they don't. Rallies are fast, points are short, and the skill is in placement — pushing your opponent to one side and then hitting the other.

It's the sort of game that's over in three minutes and gets played six times in a row. Two-player on one keyboard is where it comes alive.

How to play Table Tennis

Move bat
Mouse, or arrow keys / W A S D depending on the mode
Hit
Automatic on contact; timing sets the power
Serve
Click or press space
  1. Serve to start the point.
  2. Move your bat to intercept the ball; where you contact it decides the direction.
  3. Points are scored when your opponent fails to return.
  4. Play to the target score to win the match.

Table Tennis tips

  • Aim away from where your opponent just returned from — placement wins more points than power.
  • Meet the ball early rather than letting it come to you; late contact sends it long.
  • Vary your pace. Two hard shots followed by a soft one wins the point.
  • Return to the centre of your side between shots.

Table Tennis — questions

Can two people play Table Tennis?

Yes, on one keyboard where the build supports it, with each player on their own set of keys. There's also a single-player mode against the computer.

How do you put spin on the ball?

Contact point and bat movement decide direction and curve — hitting the ball while moving the bat sideways sends it at an angle. Different builds implement it slightly differently.

Does Table Tennis work on a phone?

Yes — drag to move the bat. It runs in the browser with nothing to install.
