Gameplay
Built around the rally
Every point is a sequence of choices: where to stand, which shot to play, when to come in. Here is what it looks like on each surface.

FAQ
Questions
What do I need to play?
A desktop or laptop with a recent Chrome or Edge, a keyboard or a gamepad. The game streams into your browser: there is nothing to install. Other browsers are still being tested.
Is it free?
Yes. Slice-Smash is free during the beta.
Why do I need an invitation?
The beta is kept small so we can tune the game with real players. If you do not have a code, write to us and we will add you to the list.
What are the controls?
Move with WASD and aim with the arrow keys. Space hits a drive (topspin), J a sidespin shot, K a slice and L a lob; hold the aim up or down to vary them (flat drive, side-slice, drop shot). Tap Cmd to arm the Super shot for your next hit; Shift dashes. Every key can be remapped, and gamepads work out of the box.
Can I play on a phone or tablet?
Not yet. The game needs a keyboard or a gamepad and a desktop-class browser.
