How to play

Move your paddle (left) with the mouse, a touch drag, or the ArrowUp / ArrowDown and W / S keys. The ball bounces off the top and bottom walls; where it strikes your paddle steers it — hit near the top edge to send it up, near the bottom edge to send it down. Miss the ball and the AI scores. First to 7 wins. The ball gets slightly faster on every paddle hit, so long rallies escalate. Easy reacts slowly and mistracks the ball, Medium is steady, and Hard tracks fast with almost no error.
