Really like the game, but also agree with all the comments so far. The ball needs to start in a random direction, spin and ball speed should be variables and colors and music would be a good add. Also the bounce function doesn't work very well all the time, if the ball hits the edge of the paddle it sometimes sticks.
Very nice, great puzzle game. Simple, addictive, easy to learn but hard to master. Great balance between an easy start that gets you into the game, but a challenging conclusion that takes time to reach.
I agree that lives or a "continue" feature would be a good addition, but I think the problme lies more in the lack of originality. There are lots of "get your mouse through the maze games." What make this one different or unique? Not that it can't be good at some point, but right now it has very little differentiation. Just my $.02
I like it a lot, the game play and physics continue to amaze. I love the feel of the old style side scrollers (Super Mario, etc.) and "simple" graphics combined with the advanced feel and gameplay. Can't wait for the full version .
