Instructions

1. To play, you'll need to accept the installation of a little plug-in (igLoader) that allows the game to load and run : to do so just click on "Ok" or "Yes", when your browser asks you about it

    ==>> You must maintain the button(s) pressed when you strike the ball <<==
    If you don't press down any key, you'll strike weakly the ball.
    When you hold down "Alt" or/and "Ctrl", you can give a direction to your shot:
    • push left arrow to send the ball to the left: the more time, the more to the left.
    • push right arrow to send the ball to the right: the more time, the more to the right.
12. When you hold down "Alt" and "Ctrl" at the same time, you strongly hit the ball: it's a super shot! But be careful, you can do only a limited number of accelerations per point. After that, you'll hit weakly the ball when you try to do one.
