This game looks great! Creating an essentially 2D game like pinball in 3D with turning camera produces really interesting visual experience. The game actually feels really different to play than if the camera would be static. Really interesting idea!
The gameplay itself however, was a little bit too simple for my taste. I didn't feel like in control of the game because the only decisions I had to make as a player were to whether press a button or not. And the answer is always to press the button when the ball is on top of a paddle. One possible option would be to make the game a lot faster, so it would be more reflex based game. The other would be to increase the decisions player have to make by introducing some new mechanics (like making special targets which score more points if the player hits them during some time interval). Then the player would need to think more carefully about how they can affect the ball movement by hitting the ball with different parts of the paddle.
EDIT: Also, I noticed that the music track just ends at some point. It probably should loop / start again when it's over.

Thank you for the Comment, really appreciate it.
Noticed that i forgot to loop the music thanks for that :) ,
Also added a new function that you can "Bump" The board to get the ball to jump a bit more in a random direction.
So the player has something more to do than just watch the paddles.
