ShadowPong features one player paddle (mouse/touch controlled) and one AI paddle. The AI's speed and accuracy increase with each consecutive rally. Ball speed increases slightly with each rally. Spin is applied on paddle contact. First to 11 points ends the match. The longest rally streak is tracked as the personal best metric.
ShadowPong is won by scoring 11 points before the AI does. The AI begins at moderate difficulty and improves gradually throughout the match. AI difficulty parameters may be adjusted in future updates.
