Tug The Table Classic: One Key Each, Table Between You

What is Tug The Table Classic?
This is the old table-pulling contest: two characters grip a long table and each one hauls it their way with a single key. The physics send both the table and the bodies flying with every pull, which turns a very simple game into a balance fight.
How to play
Player one presses the up arrow and player two presses W to haul the table over. On a phone each player taps their own half of the screen instead. Your character leans in and pulls for as long as the key is down, and straightens up again when you let go. The aim is to drop your rival off the end of the table or rock them hard enough to put them on the floor. The round ends the moment they fall, the score ticks up and a new round starts. A single player mode runs the same contest against the computer.
Controls
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Player one: Up arrow | Pull the table your way |
| Player two: W | Pull the table your way |
| Tap your half of the screen | The pull action on a phone |
Tips
- Holding the key is not always right; letting go while they pull sends them flying on their own force.
- Short taps rock the table. A steady pull leaves both of you planted, a rocking table topples them.
- When your rival slides near the edge, pull hard once. A single strong haul ends the round there.
