Getting started
Your first match
From Play now to your first seven points.
Enter the arcade#
On your first visit, choose Enter arcade for audio or Enter muted. The choice is remembered; you can change it in Arcade settings. Classic is the initial mode, with Ranked · Free to play shown under the main button.
- Select Play now.
- Create a passkey, or continue with the account you already use.
- Approve the limited arcade session when requested. PONGIT continues into matchmaking automatically.
- Wait for an opponent and the onchain match to start.
You do not need a public profile before playing. Cancelling the connection abandons that Play now request. If you already have an active match, use Resume match.
Move your paddle#
Use W / S or ↑ / ↓. On a touch screen, hold the up/down controls beneath the court. Release to stop. The match header shows whether you control the left or right paddle.
The first player to score seven points wins. The solid paddle previews your movement immediately; a score or collision becomes authoritative when confirmed by the contract. Understand the confirmation delay.
During the match#
Cabinet tools contains session actions and Concede. Opening an overlay or losing focus clears held controls. Conceding ends your participation with a loss; it is different from cancelling a queue search before a match exists.
If your session expires, use Reconnect to renew it. Do not create a new passkey to recover an existing player.
After the result#
The confirmed result triggers a skippable four-second VICTORY or DEFEAT sequence. Then choose Rematch, Watch replay or Find another opponent. Rematch invites the player you just faced; they must accept. Ranked games update the appropriate ELO ladder. Ordinary victories do not pay MON.
