How to play PolyPong
Defend your side of a polygon arena, return the ball and outlast the other paddles. PolyPong starts with Pong's simple idea, then asks you to watch several opponents at once.

The goal
Every player or bot controls one side of the arena. Move your paddle along that side to stop the ball entering your goal. Return it toward another side. In quick matches, keep defending and scoring until the match ends.
Controls
On a computer, move your paddle with the mouse or the game's movement controls. On a touch device, drag to position your paddle. The on-screen game controls also let you launch a held ball and activate an available power-up.
Choose a mode
Public online match
Enter matchmaking to join a live game. When there are fewer human players than arena sides, bots fill the remaining positions.
Private room
Create a room and send its invite link to friends. They can join from their own browsers.
Offline and campaign
Play a quick match against bots or follow the campaign's sequence of challenges. Offline matches do not need another player to be online.
What makes this different from classic Pong?
Classic Pong has two paddles facing each other. PolyPong uses three to eight arena sides, changing shot angles, power-ups and several possible opponents. If you are new, start with an offline match to learn how your paddle moves before entering a live room.
