Overview
Description

Players move a long rectangular rod up and down to block the ball, racing to reach a preset point total before their opponent does. Each zone offers three escalating variations, keeping the gameplay fresh while retaining the simple, competitive feel of the original. The game supports both single‑player and split‑screen multiplayer, making it perfect for quick matches or longer sessions with a friend.
