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: A/D. Player 2: Left/Right arrows. In solo or online play either pair controls your player. On mobile, hold the left or right button; release to stop. Each player moves only sideways. The ball lands on the same movement line. Follow the shifting ring to return the ball automatically. On a shared phone, each player has a separate pair of buttons.
Place your next return
Move sideways at contact to angle your return. Follow the ring as it settles on the 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.
