Play online against real players

This page opens a public match. The header searches for another person, and the server pairs the first two players who are waiting. You both see one ball and one score. First to 5 takes the game.

What a human match includes

Missile, Curve, Widen, and Smoke are free, with the same cooldowns the server enforces in every mode. Talk appears as soon as you are paired, and it stays off until you tap it. Voice is between the two browsers. The game does not record it.

Guests can play with no signup. If both players are signed in and each has a country, the match is ranked: Elo starts at 1,000 with K=32, and a win adds 25 points to the winner’s country. Otherwise the footer says unranked quick play, and the rating does not move. NOVA, the computer player, steps in only when the queue is empty, so you are not left on a blank court.

Move with the mouse, A and D, the arrow keys, or the drag bar on a phone. Space, C, W, and S are the weapon keys. A private match with one friend is on the two player page. Practice against the computer is on vs computer.
