Pickleball on your phone, seen from above. The whole court fits the screen, so you always see where the ball is going.

YOUR FEET WIN THE POINT

Drag anywhere to move. Get to the ball early and it goes where you aim; arrive late and it sprays. Slide your thumb to move the target ring on their side before you swing. Drive it, drop it soft into the kitchen, lob it over their heads, and smash anything they leave hanging.

THE REAL RULES

Underhand serves diagonally across, the double-bounce rule, side-out scoring, and the kitchen: seven feet either side of the net where you may stand but may not volley. Step in after a volley and the point is theirs. A short tutorial teaches it all as you play. Games go to 7, as plenty of park games do.

A PARK FULL OF REGULARS

Climb a ladder of eight regulars, from Puddle the duckling, who is never quite sure whose serve it is, to Old Grimsby, forty years at the kitchen line. Each plays their own way: power, speed, touch, or just plain scrappy. Beat one and you can play as them.

SINGLES OR DOUBLES

Play one on one, or team up with Louie, a dependable dog who holds the other half of the court. Start as a corgi, a collie, a cow or a cat, each with their own strengths, and pick a left or right paddle hand.

SEVEN COURTS

The village green, the duck pond, the sunflower field, the barnyard, the autumn orchard, the snowy green and the floodlit final.
