One-finger pong: tap to lift your paddle, gravity pulls it down. Keep the rally alive!
👆 Tap to lift the paddle ← All gamesThis is pong rebuilt around a single finger. Your paddle sits on the left side of the court, and it never stays still: gravity drags it toward the floor every moment you are not tapping. Each tap gives it an upward kick, so controlling the paddle feels closer to flying a helicopter than sliding a bat. The ball ricochets off the top rail, the bottom rail, and the glowing green wall on the right — your only job is to be in the way when it comes back. Miss once and the run is over.
Tap anywhere on the screen (or press Space on desktop) to lift the paddle; release nothing — gravity does the rest. Every successful return earns a +5 bonus on top of your survival score, and where the ball strikes the paddle matters: hits near the edges send it off at sharp angles, while center contact returns it flat and predictable. The ball gains speed the longer you survive, so late rallies demand quick, small taps to hover in position.
Short double-taps hold the paddle in a hover far better than one big lift. Watch the ball's angle off the far wall early — you have the whole return flight to drift into place. When the speed ramps up, aim for center-paddle contact to keep the rebound angle manageable.
