Players control a paddle on opposite sides of a rectangular court, trying to hit a bouncing block with the ball. Each player uses the computer keyboard or other input device to steer the paddle up and down the screen to prevent the ball from crossing over to their side of the court.
The main challenge lies in responding quickly to the unpredictable movement of the ball and anticipating its trajectory to hit it back to the opponent's side. Players can bounce the ball as many times as possible without letting it cross the line, or risk losing. This simple yet challenging game requires hand-eye coordination and reaction time.
