Not Bad at all
Great Graphics, (Mostly) Fluid controls, no concievable lag, new style of gameplay, and the ball is funny...
I only have two potential problems...
1. I've noticed that 90% of the time I fail, it's on the side things, and this is because its difficult to move both up and down and left and right...I know it'd be difficult, but is it possible to make this game with the arrow keys as well?
2. You only get points when hitting items, hitting it back and forth with the paddle balls get you nothing. At first, I thought this was insanely difficult, but after playing for about 45 minutes, it gets a little easier...Still, just a thought, but what about adding a (low, not much) score to hitting with the paddles?
Neither are really necessary, the game is great without both...
Great Job!
