The game uses a side-view competitive arena where both players contest a central bead-like ball. You move, jump, receive, and return the projectile while trying to force errors or score through pressure and special attacks. Each character has different speed, power, and move properties, so spacing and rhythm matter as much as offense. Matches are score-based and reward learning serve angles, return timing, and when to trigger special moves for momentum.
