Next.js Arcade Starter Template (PINBALL // NEXT)

A new ShipUI theme is out. If RETRO is nostalgic, ALOHA is warm, and NOIR is sharp, PINBALL is loud.

PINBALL // NEXT is a dark arcade starter built around visual engine aesthetics. Magenta and yellow on deep black, Bungee for display text, Space Grotesk for body copy. Chrome metallic borders, parallelogram clip-path shapes, and burst backgrounds. It looks like the attract screen on a cabinet that takes your quarters.

What's Included

A complete design system built around the arcade aesthetic. Everything is wired up and ready to customize.

Components:

  • Buttons (primary, secondary, ghost) in three sizes
  • Cards with chrome borders and parallelogram shapes
  • Badges in multiple color variants
  • Text component with body, caption, label, and code variants

Page sections:

  • Hero with bold arcade typography
  • Features grid
  • Stats section
  • CTA section
  • Newsletter signup

Layout and auth:

  • Header and footer
  • Login page
  • Sign up page
  • 404 and error boundary pages
  • Components showcase page

Tech stack:

  • Next.js 15 with App Router
  • React 19
  • TypeScript 5 strict mode
  • Tailwind v4
  • Zod
  • Bungee, Space Grotesk

No broken imports. No manual wiring. Install dependencies and it works.

Works with ShipKit

PINBALL pairs with ShipKit if you use it. The bundle adds ShipKit AI conventions on top: cursor rules, project structure docs, and a CLAUDE.md for your stack.

The theme also works standalone. No dependency, no lock-in.

Pricing

$29 for the theme. $39 bundled with ShipKit. Both are one-time purchases. No subscription, no recurring fees.

What's Next

More themes are in progress. The goal is the same across all of them: a real design system, a modern stack, and nothing left for you to wire up yourself.
