How it plays
How does Space Squash play?
The player views the court from behind their character in a stereoscopic third-person perspective. The objective is to return the ball so that the opponent cannot reach it, while avoiding missed returns and unfavorable rebounds.
Matches are organized around rallies and opposing players of increasing difficulty. Movement and racket positioning are combined with timed swings, and the depth effect helps communicate the ball’s distance and trajectory. A two-player mode is available when the required Virtual Boy multiplayer equipment is used.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Space Squash?
Watch the ball’s depth and speed instead of reacting only to its horizontal position. Move early to establish a good return angle, then time the swing as the ball reaches the playable zone.
Against stronger opponents, favor controlled returns that keep the rally manageable. Avoid drifting too far from the center, since recovery becomes difficult when the ball changes direction after a rebound.
