A sunset at the beach. A symbol for, and reminder of, the inexorable passage of time. Now, with pinball flippers!

Use the left/right arrow keys to control the flippers (or the left/right shift keys, or left/right control keys, or A/D, or Z/X, or A/L, or a few other options).

Over time, the controls will fade from view, and the horizon will slowly rise up the screen. If the sun falls off the bottom of the screen, or the horizon passes off the top of the screen, you lose.

Hitting the two small circles with the sun will lower the horizon a bit. Hitting the large circles will un-fade the controls.

Try to keep going as long as you can - there's a timer in the top left corner. Good luck!

Background sound from https://freesound.org/people/bitlab_coop/sounds/487003/ . I was very tempted to rush to the nearest beach with a laptop and microphone myself, but the weather put paid to that. For rating the compo, probably best to just turn your speakers off.
