Gameplay

The game starts after the whistle, you are a paddler with a box-head who is playing a table tennis match with his rival. Your rival will serve a ball to you, but in order to hit that ball, hold your Stylus to prepare your paddle and flick it to paddle it to serve it to your rival. There are three speeds of served balls: The normal ball which goes normally as it bounces smoothly, the slow one goes a little slower as it bounces higher, and the fast one before each fast one, there is a cowbell sound before it to warn you that it's coming at you in fast speed, so paddle it as soon as possible.. Each cue goes at the same speed, but there are different intervals and mixes of them.
