Cup Pong is a game for two players. The players take turns trying to gain points.

The game board (in triangle mode) consists of a table, with 10 cups on it. The cups are formed in a reverse triangle, or pyramid, shape.

Each player will be given a ball to throw with. The aim of the game is to throw the ball into one of the cups. Throwing a ball into a cup successfully will earn you one point.

Each player has one try at throwing the ball per turn. For every successful throw, an additional throw is gained. This continues until an unsuccessful throw occurs.

When a ball is successfully thrown into a cup, the cup in question will disappear. The game ends when all cups are gone.

Drag the ball to choose your trajectory, and let go to throw it.

The player with the most points, or the most successful throws, wins the game. So, getting more cups than your opponent is the aim of the game.

Tips for winning

Cup Pong is a relatively easy game to play, but there is an aspect of challenge in regards to winning the game. Cup Pong relies heavily on aim and precision.

If you miss a throw, you could end up losing the entire game. There are some tips for improving your technique, which could help increase your chances of winning Cup Pong.

Aim for the middle cups

When you start playing the game, try to aim for the easiest points first. These are usually the cups placed in the middle.

They’re directly in front of your ball, and require minimum aiming. Just throw in a straight trajectory, and use the white line in the middle of the board as a guide.

This way, you’ll only have to worry about controlling your throw power. This will also increases your chances of earning some consecutive throws.

Check your aim

Always remember to preview and check your aim trajectory before throwing the ball.

You can also use an object as a guide for where the ball will land, such as a ruler.

Just place the ruler across your screen to help predict where the ball will go, or use it to help you choose the right trajectory. If you can’t use a ruler, then any other straight object will work instead.

Aim for the most cups

After the other team’s cups start disappearing, try aiming for the area with the largest concentration of cups. This will increase your chances of landing the ball in a cup.

Aim for the remaining cups closest to you as opposed to the ones further away. The closest cups will be easier to aim for, and easier to get the ball inside.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Cup Pong is a fairly challenging game. It relies heavily on aim and success rates. Missing a throw could cost you the entire game.

Due to the game’s reliance on successful throws, its best to increase your chances of landing a shot.

You can do this by aiming for the easiest cups first, which will earn you some additional throws.

You can also try to aim for the area with the most cups to increase your chances of landing the ball in a cup. Try to gain as many points as possible, as early as possible.
