NEEDS TO BE FAASSSTEEER VRUM VRUM! (Dont use me as a play tester reference, it will make the game too hard lol) Thanks for submitting it! -PomoTheDog

nice! It's a bit unclear when the diamonds have taken enough damage, and I feel like the return angle is a bit too limited, something like a more analog bounceback system would have been ice to have more control over the direction.
But, nice entry

The game gets pretty chaotic really fast. I like how solid it feels to hit back the ball. There is a bug I found where if you hit the ball from too low in the title screen, sometimes the game starts with the ball out of reach. It happened only two times for me though.

A sort of lethal league demake - nice one! How you get a score above ~3 is beyond me!

Very interesting game mechanic. Really liked that one. I think more polishment and it would be a real nice html5 game.

That was intense! Promising squash-breakout crossover that could use some polish. Was difficult to control the direction of the paddle, and the ball was too fast for me. Was also hard to see what was happening since the graphics didn't scale with the window. Missed a theme interpretation.

Interesting concept. But it gets too hard too soon. Cool game over all.

Well done, the batting mechanic is quite satisfying. It seems quite common to get the ball stuck in a perfectly vertical or horizontal bounce (stuck in a loop, heh), which is a bit annoying to deal with, but depending on your reflection logic, fixing this might be as simple as starting the levels with ever so slightly different angles, maybe avoiding integer fractions of pi radians.
