That was fun, although I found it rather difficult: both the ball and the bar moved too quickly for my slow reflexes...

Still really enjoyable and well-made, nice job!

Thanks for playing!

Note to myself: add difficulty levels next time.

So damn hard haha I love it! 31 balls so I think I lost... Also works with 0.9.2 so thank you really much!

I'm glad you like it. Thanks for trying it out!

Wow this was more difficult than I expected. Quite fun, good job for just 2 hours! Is it just me or is there a slight delay on the paddle though? Might just be because its going so faaaast

[easy82]

Thanks! I think the delay is because I adjust the ball Y coordinate when it collides with the paddle.

I meant when moving when moving the paddle, it feels like there is a slight delay. I find it kinda hard to move the paddle exactly where I want because of this. Could be an issue on my end, either that or I'm just bad at breakout

Oh, okay now I understand it! Maybe it's because I use love.keypressed and love.keyreleased and not love.keyboard.isDown directly? I don't know...

That shouldn't be an issue...
