RE:25 ..
The ball is too fast for that ball speed and the paddle is too thin. The paddle also doesn't contrast with the back ground very well so you have to strain your eyes a bit. Very bad ending level, and the end is what people will remember the most.
every multipart game seems to have a story being made up as they go, never a unified story, or plot. They leave everything really vague so they don't have to come up with anything.
What's in your inventory?
