Great game! It was fun to play, though the way the ball bounces was confusing and a little unpredictable, was it because of the uneven bricks on the side?
Interesting to use the brick pong style, it lends itself well to the type of gameplay, I was surprised when I had to also dodge enemy projectiles. Being able to grab the ball and launch it accurately was great since I had no idea how to bounce the ball properly. It took me a while to realise what actually getting hit by projectiles does to me, turns out they make the paddle smaller.
I was really not expecting the last level to be in the style of a boss battle, that was pretty great! The checkpoint was really nice as well, having to manage the four sides was very much a `oh crap,` moment. The art style was quite cutesy and the audio was nice, it would've been nice if there was a sound effect for damaging the Bosses too. Great job on the game!
