Terms

The rules for playing Pong.com: fair matches, optional voice, and no purchased advantage in ranked play.

By playing you agree to use the game as an arcade, not as a way to harass other people. Chat and voice are optional. Reports are reviewed when cloud storage is configured.

MATCHES

Games against NOVA are unranked practice and do not change Elo or country points. Quick play counts when both players are signed in and each has a country. The match server records the result: Elo starts at 1,000 with K=32, and a win adds 25 points to the winner’s country only.

COINS AND POWERS

Coins buy paddle, ball, and trail skins, plus a practice consumable that adds one extra rocket against NOVA. Smoke, missile, curve, and widen are free weapons in every match, including human games, and the server enforces their cooldowns. A purchased loadout cannot add combat advantage to a ranked match.

ACCOUNTS

Sign-in is optional. Google and X are used only to attach a display name and a country you pick. You can sign out in Settings. We may remove an account that is used to abuse chat, voice, or the match service.

THE SERVICE

The game is provided as-is. Matches can end if the server restarts; the client reconnects and NOVA keeps the court available. These terms can change as the arcade changes. The copy on this page is the current set.
