How to play Quad Pong

Quad Pong is Pong with four paddles, one on each side of a square. You guard the bottom. Keep the ball in play and don’t let it past you.

• Moving: left and right arrows or A and D, drag on the board, or use a controller stick.
• Lives: every miss costs a life. At zero lives your side turns into a wall.
• Winning: the last paddle standing wins.
• Aiming: where the ball hits your paddle changes where it goes. The ball also gets a little faster with each hit.

Ways to play: against bots (one opponent or three, with one to nine lives), or online with up to four people using a room code. Empty seats can be filled by bots.

Tips

• Hit the ball with the edge of your paddle to send it off at a sharper angle.
• Drift back to the middle after each hit. It gives you the most reach in both directions.
• Keep your eyes on the ball, not your paddle. It speeds up as the rally goes on.
• Bots get less accurate in long rallies, so keep the ball in play.

Questions

Is it free? Yes. No account, no download, nothing to pay for.

Why is my side always at the bottom? The board is turned so your own paddle is always at the bottom of your screen.

How many lives are there? Five by default. Against bots you can choose anything from one to nine.

Can I play on a phone? Yes. Drag your finger along the board.
