I love the little touches like the particles and the way the score number bounces a little bit when you get points. It's unfair how much fun this is for how simple it is.

This was REALLY well polished! Gameplay was minimalist but perfect and I suck at this as much as I suck at real paddle ball! xD

A very good implementation of a simple idea. Every effect (particles, ball stretching, even text motion) is spot on. While I didn't initially understand the physics, the second time I turned it on I got a high score of 100.

One strange thing I noticed was that the ball was orbiting perfectly around the paddle in certain situations. Perhaps it would help to add a bit of damping to reduce the velocity of the ball.

This game on touch screen would destroy my life.

One of my favorite so far. The game was simple, but I like the use of the theme. I've seen more than enough games that didn't even try to implement the theme in any way.. not even in the description =/

This was possibly harder than a real paddle ball =P Well done.

Would love to hear your thoughts on my game!

There isn't a lot to do but it is a lot of fun! Interesting idea to think of an ancient gaming device. My hi score was 14 but I think I was lucky, most times I got 3 or 4.
