    Nice, very nice idea, though I'm sure I've seen this before.

    Would be better with mouse controls, though I'm not sure how you'd implement them, you'd probably have to find the nearest point on the circle to the mouse cursor.

    I like it, but I don't like the "paddle drift" when you let up on the keys. Makes it less responsive. Anyways, pretty interesting take on the ol'pong idea

    Thanks for the feedback! I did adjust this to make it drift less, and found a feel I thought was right - maybe I could damp it down a bit more? I'll give it a try.

    Thanks again.

    Sorry about this. I've complained to the ISP - it's not the first time and I have been assured in the past that the problem is solved...

    Thanks for the feedback anyhow - I would be humbled if you gave the game another shot, hopefully with the server up!

    Great game! It's a lot of fun. I love all the features, such as the multiple balls. Great job!

    Really sorry about this - I'm still talking to the ISP about these occasional server failures. They've told me it should be ok now.

    In the meantime, if you can confirm the username you used to get 205, I can check the records and flag the score back up!

    It's no big deal; 205 was the All-Time leading score, but since then, the 205 cut off has been pushed right off the top 10, so there is no reason to waste precious database space with a useless record.

    Thank you - really glad you enjoyed it. I'm now trying to figure out how to get more people to play it!
