How many players can play?
Solo against the CPU, or two players on one TV in a shared arena.
Do I need two controllers?
On TV, yes for two players — two gamepads or remotes, or a remote and a keyboard; solo against the CPU needs just one. On a tablet you can play solo with touch alone. For two players on one tablet we recommend gamepads: some tablets do not reliably hold the second finger.
How do you score points?
Two ways: by smashing a breakable brick, or by sending the ball past your opponent's paddle. When time runs out, the higher score wins.
How long is a match?
Short and timed. Built-in levels run 2 minutes; for community levels the creator picks a length from 1 to 10 minutes.
Can I build my own level?
Yes. In the web editor you place bricks on a grid, set the timer and publish your pinground to the community hub — others then play and like it right on their TV. Publishing takes a slot; slots are a one-time purchase and they stack.
How tough is the CPU?
You pick from 3 difficulties: from simply tracking the ball, through predicting its trajectory, to strategically positioning the paddle.
How do the controls work?
On TV, the D-pad up and down moves your paddle, OK launches the ball and Back pauses the match. On a tablet you drag your paddle with a finger and tap to launch — and if you connect a gamepad, it works just like on TV.
Is my progress and stats saved?
With Google sign-in, yes — profile, match history and achievements. Without signing in you play as a guest.
What can I play it on?
Android TV, Google TV and Android tablets — one package for every device. Requires Android 7.0 or newer.
Is the game free?
Yes — downloading and playing is free, community pingrounds included. You only pay for slots to build your own pingrounds in the editor: one-time, no subscription.
