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

- Components showcase page
Tech stack:

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.
