Maybe some slight acceleration on the hexagon would have been good?

But I feel that you as a player don't have a lot of control over the ball. Mostly just trying to keep it from bouncing outside and not target the bricks in the middle. The balls missed collisions with the player sometimes. You could have increased the collision volumes logical (i.e. not graphical) thickness to make it less likely for the collision to be missed. Or slow the ball down."},{"author_name":"alfadur","author_uid":"16192","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 6:44pm","epoch":1418150340,"text":"Nice improvement over planar paddle!
