I was gonna go with “Flappy Pong”, but either way, has major Flappy vibes. Great little game, though. Has the element that makes you want to keep playing it.
"Flappy Pong" exists, as an Atari 2600 game no less: https://www.atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=...

I helped the author track down and fix a certain bug: the paddle would get stuck to the ground, when the fractional subpixel value of its y-coordinate was very slightly below zero. He sent me a free cartridge and T-shirt as thanks.

This feels like a playable version of Flappy Bird. The physics are sane and feel right. Flappy Bird seemed designed just to frustrate.
