Play on your phone

This is the same game, laid out for one thumb. Drag the bar under the court to move. The four weapons sit in an even row with gaps wide enough to hit during a rally. In a human match, Talk joins that row. Nothing pops up over the ball.

Same rules, smaller screen

First to 5. Sound on. First tap releases the serve. Missile, Curve, Widen, and Smoke are free, including smoke’s short opaque cloud and eight-second cooldown. You can play a guest match against NOVA, queue for a person, or open a private friend link. Signing in is optional and is only how ranked Elo and country points are kept.

A small Rush Hour line on the start screen counts down to noon and 6pm Pacific, when more people are online. It stays off the court. Read how to play if you want every key, or jump into online multiplayer.
