Very creative take on pong. :)

The bullet time effect for aiming, followed by giving the ball a big smack is very satisfying.

Love the audio!

Very cool idea! Loved the graphics and the music, cool shader! Gameplay was hard to get at first, but fun!

Really fun and it feels nicely polished! My only complaint is that my ball got stuck in the corner after about 90 seconds :'(

I like the unique take on the idea, the bat was very satisfying to use.

The game was totally unique and fun! It took a lil bit of time to understand the concept but I got the hang of it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I recommend adding a stopwatch somewhere on the screen to know how long you've survived lol.

I didn't add the how to play part yet, So if you are wondering how to play:
Use space or Left click to Aim with your bat, you can't move while aiming and time will also be slowed
Use space or left click again the unleash the bat
Your goal is to survive as long as possible, the energy bars retore energy which is on the upper part of the screen, the small boots will increase your speed for a period of time

Edit: Have just added the how to play part
