Thankyou for feedback
I wasn't happy with the way the paddle worked. I spent about four hours trying to get the mechanics to work. I tried to add some direction if you hit it while moving. I tried changing the collision mesh, but the results were too inconsistent. Just get the game to an acceptable state to submit. I rolled both ideas back to the simple version that is in the game at the moment.
Thank you for the feedback; it confirms what I need to fix after the voting period.
