Better Paddle Interaction! v1.0.21

Short-lived Slime
A browser pinball machine made in HTML5

New and improved paddle timing!

This game is hard. You’re trying to whack a fast moving slime and every frame counts! But sometimes, you’re certain that the paddle should have changed the slime’s direction.

There’s an easy explanation for this… I’m not using collider rects. When a slime’s position aligns with a paddle, that’s when the stars align and a paddle pump will redirect our squishy protagonist. That’s bugged me and I’m sure, it’s bothered you, too.

Old Way
