Need a hand?

Controls, purchases, and the occasional hiccup.

Start a match

Choose Solo or Duel, then Play. In solo, move your mouse to control your mallet. In a duel, each player uses one half of the trackpad. Keyboard controls are also available: WASD or ZQSD for the left player, arrow keys for the right.

First to 7 wins. A goal with the beach ball scores 2 points. Stay in your own half: your mallet goes offside in the other player’s half.

Pause and return to your desktop

Press Escape to open the pause menu, then end the match to return home. Switching applications also pauses the game.

Your 5 free matches

A match is counted after 30 seconds of active play. Leaving before then does not use a free match. Each restart begins a new grace period. Pausing does not advance the timer. The tutorial stays free. The allowance is local to this Mac and user.

Unlock or restore the game

When the game launches on the App Store, one purchase will unlock unlimited solo and local two-player matches. There is no subscription, and no purchase happens automatically after the demo.

To recover a purchase, choose Restore Purchases on the home screen with the same Apple Account. Buying and restoring require an App Store connection.

The price does not appear

Check your App Store connection and try again. The game is still in preparation, so the purchase is not yet available to the public.
