I like the premise of a "normal" game with lots of hidden easter eggs, but unfortunately I couldn't find many while actually playing. I think there would need to be a lot more secrets added to make this kind of thing viable. Additionally, the pong game itself is somewhat odd, with the paddles having a strange kind of acceleration to them and the ball being able to bounce off the back of the paddles.

I agree that this game needs more eastereggs and weird movement is side effect of bot implementation. I wanted to make it fair, so I added 'input delay'.

I played through this, and wasn't able to spot the twist? Is it truly "just normal pong", or is there something I'm missing? Just curious. Here's my playthrough.

Thanks for the feedback. I am aware of that it isn't easy to find the twist. But few tips: there is nothing special in normal game and try to  press random things or keys in the menu or in the tutorial.
