really beautiful game in every aspect- the music, visuals, gameplay, the little art in the corner & level names... truly meditative. and based on these comments, i need to play again to try out more of the powerups! i could definitely play this one for hours. it feels like this game could even lend itself to random levels with the way it works, though of course these handcrafted levels are excellent and i love how much care went into matching the behavior of paddles with the level art/names.
at one point i wondered whether being able to reset to the way you placed things would be nice, so that you could tweak a previous build, but i sort of like how resetting every time makes things more spontaneous, just try out other builds on a whim.
