How to play Retro Ping Pong?

The objective is simple: use your paddle to hit the ball back and forth, aiming to get it past your opponent's paddle to score points. The game continues until a player reaches 7 points to win!

Start by selecting the amount of players: single-player or multiplayer. In single-player mode, you will face off against an AI opponent of varying difficulty levels. In multiplayer mode, you can compete against a friend on the same device.

You can also select the game mode, starting with Classic mode is ideal for beginners, but once you've mastered the basics, Action Mode offers a thrilling variation. Action Mode introduces unique rules for each round, which can significantly enhance your gameplay strategy.

The action mode rule modifications include:

Secret Wall: A section of the dividing line becomes invisible, acting as a wall that prevents the ball from crossing into the other player’s court. The ball bounces back to the player who hit it. To score, you'll need to maneuver the ball around this wall.
Fireball: A ring of fire appears in the center of the field. Each time the ball passes through this ring, it gets progressively hotter and moves increasingly faster.
Multiball: Multiple balls are in play simultaneously. Ensure none of them get past your paddle. If one does, the other ball remains in play, and a new ball spawns in the center. The balls can collide with each other. To win the round, you must score twice.
Big Ball Little Paddles: The ball is larger than usual, but the paddles are smaller, requiring precise control and timing.
Fog Zone: A thick fog covers the middle of the court. When the ball enters this fog, you lose visual and auditory cues. Track the ball's trajectory to anticipate its position when it reappears.
Gravity Well: Voids on the court create unpredictable gravitational fields. The ball's path becomes erratic if it enters these fields, challenging your reflexes and anticipation.
Bumper Ball: Five bumpers are placed in the center of the court. The ball will deflect off these bumpers in unexpected directions, requiring quick adjustments to your strategy.
Don’t Hit The Kitty: A cat is on the court! If the ball gets past you or if you hit the cat twice, you lose the round.
Blaster: Both you and your opponent have blasters. Press the Spacebar to fire at your opponent. Hitting your opponent twice or getting the ball past their paddle will earn you points.
