The Codex

In 1972, Allan Alcorn wired Pong out of raw TTL logic — no CPU, just a ball, two paddles, and segmented digits. This is that game, half a century later, played across the mouth of a black hole.

The Singularity

Every paddle strike feeds the well at center court. As its mass grows, it bends the ball's flight — and past the event horizon, it devours the ball outright: no point, rally erased, the void feeds.

Spin

Strike while your paddle is moving to shear the ball — spin curves its path and dances with the well's gravity. A moving-edge hit is a weapon.

Stellar Shards

Fragments orbit the well. Drive the ball through one to claim it:

  • ◆ AEGIS — your paddle widens for 8s
  • ◆ TWIN — the well spits out a second ball
  • ◆ STASIS — time dilates for 4s
