Very clean.  The sound of the ball hitting the paddle felt nice.  I liked the way the paddle tilted when I moved it.  I'm curious how much the tilting affects the trajectory of the ball when you hit it - I wasn't able move it fast, time the hits, and figure out how much a difference it made.

Overall, a simple but well put together game.

Developer

thanks a lot!

The graphics looked great and the smooth gameplay made this a nice game to play. I liked how there were little power ups like higher gravity, I was able to get to 21 before dying.

Absolutely phenomenal presentation, minimalistic but quite well polished. The sound of the ball hitting the bat and the walls is perfection.

I will say there's not really much gameplay wise, though. It's pretty fun but not for that long. Personally I find it pretty good for maybe 2-3 sessions and then I got bored. The concept's also pretty generic, but it works well.

Very solid game overall though! Definitely an above average entry.

Wow, thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you liked the visuals of the game, it took a lot of work. Unfortunately I realize that after a while the game can seem boring, if I had more time I would have come up with some elements to make the game more fun.

Super cool little game. It's obviously very simple, but I really like the kind of clean feel it has and all the bits of polish such as the paddle tilting a bit with fast movement, adding a bit more strategy to the game. The game could have obviously used a bit more depth overall, and some different elements to spice up it, but still nice job.

Developer

I'm glad you liked the game. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to add more depth to the game, but I'll focus more on that next time.
