Duel on a neon hover-court: curve the puck off your energy paddle, charge power shots and win matches in a row against three AI tiers, or face a friend on one device.

How to play

Return the puck past the magenta paddle: miss it and your opponent scores. First to 7 wins the match.
Pick Easy, Medium, Hard or Duo and press Play.
Move your cyan paddle with the mouse, W/S or the Up/Down arrows. On phones, drag anywhere on the screen.
Where the puck meets your paddle sets its angle: the edges send it out wide with a little curve.
Hold Space, the mouse button, a second finger or the Charge button to charge from your meter, then release: your next return becomes a fast curving power shot. The meter at your end of the court (and the Charge button) shows when a shot is affordable.
Holo gates appear on the centre net from time to time and slow any puck that crosses them.
Against the AI, each match won scores 100 plus the point margin; one lost match ends the run. In Duo, the left/bottom player uses W/S and Space, the right/top player the arrows and Enter.
P or Esc pauses, ? opens help. Your run is saved automatically: pick it up later with Continue.

About Paddle Duel

Paddle Duel is a one-on-one paddle-and-puck duel on a futuristic carbon court. Where the puck meets your curved energy paddle sets its angle and spin, and every rally hit makes it faster. Hold to charge a power shot from your meter, then release for a fast, hard-curving return. Holographic gates flicker onto the centre net at seeded moments and slow any puck that passes through them. First to 7 points wins the match. Against the computer, each match you win adds 100 points plus your point margin, and the AI gets a little sharper; lose one match and the run ends. Easy, Medium and Hard AIs react with a delay and misjudge fast or curving shots, so they can always be beaten. Duo mode puts two players on one device, each with their own half of the screen or their own keys.
