The Lightning Hare
One ball, two paddles and a neon court in 3D. Take on the CPU across three levels: the ball speeds up with every rally, and power-ups appear on the court to change the match.
How to play
- Move the paddle with the mouse or your finger. On a keyboard use W and S, or the arrow keys.
- With a gamepad: stick or D-pad to move and browse the menus, A confirms, Start pauses.
- You score when the ball gets past the other paddle. A ranked match is first to 7; in free play you choose 5, 7 or 11.
- The coloured orbs are power-ups and go to whoever hit the ball last: big paddle, small paddle for the opponent, fast ball, a shield that saves one point.
- Esc pauses, F goes full screen. A click on the court captures the mouse, Esc releases it.
How scoring works
In a ranked match: 100 points for every point you score, 40 off for every point you concede, 300 for the win and 10 for every hit of your longest rally, up to 30 hits. The total counts once on easy, one and a half times on medium, two and a half times on hard.
The leaderboard cannot be faked: the server starts the match, receives only your commands and replays the match to count points and achievements.
