How to play
Move your mallet in the bottom half of the table and hit the puck into the goal at the top. The AI guards the top goal. First to 7 wins.
The puck bounces off the side walls and slows down a little over time. Hitting it while your mallet is moving fast sends it much faster.
Easy only defends. Normal attacks when the puck is on its side. Hard predicts where the puck will cross and sometimes banks a shot off the wall. Your record is the number of goals you let in during a game you won.

Tips & strategy
- Hit through the puck, not at it. A mallet that is still moving at contact passes on most of its speed.
- Bank shots off the side walls get past an AI that is lined up in front of its goal.
- Stay between the puck and your goal when it's coming at you. A still mallet just bounces the puck back.
- Hard reads the puck's path, so change angle late: hit from the side instead of straight up.
