Classic paddle-and-ball, rebuilt with a glowing neon paddle and CRT scanlines instead of two white rectangles. What hasn't changed is the core tension: the AI on the other side starts beatable and gets faster and more precise the longer the rally goes, so the match you're winning at 3-2 can slip away by 8-7.
Every point the ball slips past a paddle counts toward that side's score, and first to 11 takes the match. Because the AI's reaction time ramps up as the game continues, the smartest strategy is closing out points early rather than settling in for a long back-and-forth rally.
Yes — the AI's paddle speed and reaction time both ramp up the longer a match runs.
W/S or arrow keys move the paddle, Space starts or pauses, Esc pauses, R restarts, and M mutes.
First player to reach 11 points wins.
