About Paddle Duel
Paddle Duel is portrait table tennis against a computer opponent: you guard the bottom of the table, the CPU guards the top. Where the ball meets your paddle sets its angle, and moving the paddle as you hit puts curving spin on it. Win a match to seven and the next opponent reacts faster, aims tighter and starts spinning back.
How to play
- Move your yellow paddle along the bottom edge to return the ball.
- Hitting near the paddle edge sends the ball out at a sharp angle.
- Move the paddle while hitting to add spin — the ball curves in flight.
- Serve with Space or by lifting your finger; serve switches every two points.
- First to 7 wins the match and a tougher opponent steps up.
- Lose a match and the run is over.
Objective
Beat as many CPU opponents as you can in first-to-7 matches.
Tips & strategy
- Sharp angles that bounce off a rail are the hardest for the CPU to reach.
- Long rallies are worth extra points, but the ball speeds up with every hit.
- Swipe through the ball in the opposite direction the CPU is moving to wrong-foot it.
