About Neon Pong
Neon Pong is the classic two-paddle game with a glowing neon table. You control the violet paddle on the left, the computer controls the pink one on the right, and the first to seven points wins the match.
How to play Neon Pong
- Press SERVE! on the splash screen, then SERVE! again to start the match.
- Move your paddle up and down by moving the mouse over the table, or by dragging a finger on it.
- Hit the ball back. It bounces off the top and bottom walls.
- If the ball gets past the computer's paddle you score; if it gets past yours, the computer scores.
- The first player to 7 points wins. The Best counter shows how many matches you have won on this device.

Tips for a higher score
- Where the ball meets your paddle sets its angle: hit it near the top or bottom edge for a steep return that is hard to reach.
- The computer's paddle gets a little quicker the longer a match goes on, so try to win points early in a rally with sharp angles.
- After each hit, move back towards the middle so you're never far from the next return.
- On a phone, drag on the table itself; your finger doesn't have to cover the paddle.
