archipong is simply a Pong game, as classic as it gets. The ball bounces against the edges of the screen, and the paddles have to keep the ball from going off-screen (not that it actually will, since it’ll just bounce back off the left and right walls).

In Double-paddle mode, controls remain the same but operate both paddles.
