I am very sad for for you that you had a so bad experience. under the less the main problem of the game is that you didn’t understood the game itself. In fact if you had read the dialogue and knew the references at movies and web culture then you should had understand why the physics of pong is like that and why pac man is eating you and you may had succeeded the level and had some fun with the rest of the game.
I am very sorry that you had lose time with my game. I hope you the best for this jam.
Best regards
