Good usage of the theme. The graphics are really basic but I didnt rate you on those.

It is short and fast paced, which makes it very addicting.

I only have a couple of issues:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- I can't restart with the space bar? It just causes the ball to advance by one frame.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- Sometimes the ball shoots downwards when it hits the wall, even if it was traveling up at the time. Consequently, when the ball moves left you get an easier start than when the ball moves right (you can wait for a while without pressing the space bar for one, but not for the other)"},{"author_name":"vinull","author_uid":"19362","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 1:38am","epoch":1418347980,"text":"Nice, simple game play - maybe a bit hard in the current state (can you stop a ball from hitting the top?

Took a while to get the hang of, but I enjoyed it. It reminds me of the simple fun of old arcade games.
