🎯 Objectives

The primary objective in Spong is to outscore your opponent by hitting the ball past their paddle. Your short-term goal is to successfully return each volley, while your long-term target is to be the first player to reach 11 points to win the game. Success comes from anticipating the ball's trajectory, positioning your paddle correctly, and using angles to create tricky shots. Achieving a high score requires focus, quick reflexes, and strategic plays to outmaneuver the competition.

💡 Pro Tips

🎪 Master the art of angled shots. Hitting the ball with the very edge of your paddle will send it at a sharper angle, making it much harder for your opponent to return.
⚡ Don’t chase the ball; anticipate it. Focus on predicting where the ball will be and move your paddle there efficiently instead of frantically reacting to its current position.
💰 Consistency is key. Sometimes a slow, well-placed shot is more effective than a powerful return that goes out of bounds. Keep the ball in play to force errors.
🏆 Practice controlling the ball's speed. While faster rallies are exciting, occasionally slowing the pace can disrupt your opponent's rhythm and create openings for a winning point.
