Volleyball 1v1 rules
Reach at least 11 points with a two-point lead. At 10–10, keep playing until someone leads by two. Every rally is worth one point. Land the ball inside your opponent’s half to score; boundary lines count as in. An out-of-bounds ball gives the point to the opponent of the last hitter.
This is arcade 1v1 volleyball. Stay on your own side of the net and move under the descending ball for an automatic return. You get one touch before the ball must cross the net. The point winner serves automatically after a short countdown. There are no teams, rotations, three-touch combinations or match clock.
Move under the ball
Player 1 uses WASD; Player 2 uses the arrow keys. In solo and online play, either key set controls your own player. Move the mouse over the court or drag near your player on a touch screen. Two players can use separate fingers. The court rotates to fit wide screens, and keyboard directions follow the screen.
Place your next return
Follow the landing ring and get under the ball before it reaches the sand. Run sideways as you meet it to angle your return. Moving closer to the net produces a quicker attack. Recover towards the middle after a hit, ready to cover the next landing spot.
Practise at your pace
Choose Vs computer, then Easy, Medium or Hard. The levels change the opponent’s speed, reaction time and positioning accuracy. The computer uses the same ball physics and movement limits. Change difficulty through the same menu without resetting the match.
Pause, save and return
Local and computer matches save separately in this browser when storage is available. Reloading restores the match paused. New round keeps the current mode and difficulty. Clearing site data removes saved matches and online seat credentials.
Online play requires both players to press Ready. Pause, leaving the tab or losing the connection stops the match. Rejoin with the invitation in the same browser to recover your seat, then both get ready again. Points are saved before confirmation; ongoing rallies are checkpointed periodically. A server restart may restore the latest checkpoint. Both players must agree to a rematch. Inactive rooms expire after seven days.
