Lmao I was looking around for a score and almost thought the FPS counter was how well I was doing.
I don't think the controls are an issue, mostly I think you should've just done away with the paddles entirely and went with the point to jump when touching a tree concept, made multiple holes in all cardinal directions you could fall through to lose, and actually awarded the player when hit the blue boxes and you would've had something really cool.
I know most people just cut their losses and move on, but you're not far away from a fun lil game, maybe just fix it up a bit, there are some crucial elements missing from the game loop that aren't hard to implement.
Anyways, I thought it was a unique concept and you almost executed, I tried to rate you but I'd rather rate you again if you can at least provide a score meter :) believe that would be an allowed improvement btw.
Great job!
Would appreciate it if you could rate/comment on mine as well :)
