Pong Board

Pong Board takes a familiar idea and tunes it until it clicks. Here you get first to 7 goals, paddle at 28% of screen height, wrapped in a clean, distraction-free board that works just as well on a phone as on a laptop.

How Pong Board plays

The AI is deliberately imperfect - it aims, it drifts, and on the harder settings it reads your shot frighteningly well. Beating it is less about fast hands and more about wrong-footing it twice in a row.

Why Pong Board sticks

It suits anyone with a queue to wait in or a kettle to watch: students between classes, commuters, parents stealing ten quiet minutes. There is no meta-progression to lose and nothing to catch up on - a week away costs you nothing but a little sharpness.

How to play

1. Press play and pick solo vs CPU or two players on one screen.
2. Drag your half of the screen to move your paddle.
3. Return the ball - the angle depends on where it hits your paddle.
4. First to 7 goals wins the match.

Where it sits

First to 7 goals wins. Play a friend or the CPU.

A note on the sticker

Read Pong Board as a Gaduh Shelf game first and a Gaduh Shelf game second. The shape explains how the session will end; the group explains what it will ask of you before that.

Difficulty sits at Easy and the player count at 2. Those two numbers decide more about whether you will enjoy it than the theme does.

Keep it if you play in short bursts. It rewards a second attempt far more than a first, and the second attempt costs nothing but the tap.
