Oh my god, I remember this game! Any of you remember those old handheld black LCD games that often were used as alarm clocks? This one is identical to the Fireman game where you have to catch people jumping out of a burning building and get them into the ambulance! Such a nostalgia moment!

Many, many moons ago there was a DOS game like this, except it had babies falling out of a burning building and you controlled a pair of firemen carrying a trampoline and as the babies fell out of the building you had to "bounce" them like this through 3 positions until the end when they'd bounce over the fence and into an ambulance. Anyone else happen to remember this game? It was in 3-color CGA CMY (cyan/magenta/yellow). It was thanks to that game that I got these badges almost on the first try. :D

Great game, but you get bored of trying a high score sinse you have to start that slow again when you die. I would put some sort of upgrade that creates a button to start a game already with many paddles and fast speed.

I wish there was an infinite mode, where misses didn't matter. If you wanted to, you could score it by misses, where 0 misses would be top score, and it would add a timer and would automatically score it at certain intervals. It is fun to play, but I'm just not that good and it's very disorinenting to be playing and suddenly you miss one and you're taken back to the main screen. Usually, if I miss one I screw up a few more times before I get back into my groove, so I can only mess up once or twice before it's over.

It's so easy to spot when a hacker gets greedy and lazy. The number 2,147,483,647 is the largest number available of a 32-bit data type.
Other obvious ones are all 9s or 1 with a bunch of 0s after it.

This game is hard because the paddle doesn't teleport unlike the mobile version. So instead of left and right movement, make it 3 buttons, left, center and right.

Very good game, I like all the thought-out small things - like how game pauses on game-changing power-ups to avoid confusion. One thing I would like to see is rhythm game-ish/guitar hero-ish controls, like "press 1 to move your stick to left position, 2 to center position, 3 to left position". I realise it's supposed to be pong-ish, but it feels more like a rhythm game to me.

Needs an alternative to the controls. What I mean specifically is a 3-button set that takes you to the position corresponding to the button you press. Kinda like the AI plays.

I still remember that I struggled with the hard badge back in 2009. Now I scored 156k my very first try. It's fascinating how your general gaming skills can grow over the years.

If you want to get a really high score, purposely miss all powerups except extra lives and level ups. The other ones all create the timer where nothing else will drop. Then when it really turns to pel hell go ahead and pick up the other ones just to survive longer and rack up your score.

nuublarking its not really lagging, as far as I can tell there is a short pause once you get a upgrade as well as when it ends, to give you a chance to adjust

i really dislike that the game starts so super slow and snowballs super heavy when u reach 40-50k. u play like 90% of the time to grind up to this point for 10-20sec of lucky play. also the autopilot broke my neck at 80k cause i couldnt get into at anymore lol. besides that good game

By the way, those are just suggestions and it's totally up to you. You've already made an amazing game that I find really addicting and fun. I've been playing it for over a year now as a time waster, so that should tell you how awesome it is. Keep up the excellent work!
