Retro Pong

Retro Pong keeps the appeal of early arcade design: only a paddle, an opponent, and a ball that gets more dangerous the longer you keep it alive. The format is minimal, but that is exactly where the tension comes from. A few clean returns can turn into a long rally before one slight mistake ends it.

This gives the game a useful role on the portal. It is familiar enough to start instantly, but still sharp enough to reward focus and consistency.

• Move your paddle to meet the ball cleanly.
• Try to control the return angle instead of only blocking.
• Do not chase too far ahead of the ball; center yourself first.
• Long rallies are where the score starts to build.
