So I noticed the game got updated, and that the custom manager feature is present.
So naturally I opened up asesprite and immediately:

Below are my opinions and such on the update, and like if it ain't actually done yet, then like feel free to ignore these naturally.
So like having some reference/base to go off of when designing the sprites would be much appreciated. I kind of just had to guess the scale of the sprites, and well she ended up being massive compared to the other characters, and I just gave up on even trying to do the manual sprites. Idk if you want to like just have the sprites for the base characters accessible, but it can just a rough faceless character to use as a scale guide would be very useful.
I guess also as a minor gripe, given the game is always on top, it can at times hide the import png window that comes up
It's not like a major issue, and given I have no clue how you would even go around solving this I wouldn't say it's a huge problem, just was initially confusing when I couldn't find the window due to the game covering it.
Besides that, holy bananas, the moment I saw the update came out I immediately started doodling my CREATION. She did come out pretty rough and like I said her scale is a bit off (never mind how lazily I slapped together her hands) BUT SHE NOW EXISTS IN THE PADDLE ROOMS!!!!
The power ups are also really cool, even though I mostly keep the game in the corner of my screen (thus often don't end up seeing them do their thing), they make the game much more visually interesting when I do occasionally just stare at (Also making stupidly high levels go by faster, which is quite nice).
Besides that, I haven't played much of the new update, mostly because I was frothing at the mouth making my foul creature. However, I will add that the new managers are very funky and silly.
I guess my only other (very) minor gripe is that I was thinking that the eyes would be separate from the main body and could be swapped in various ways/follow the ball. But like, I understand if that would be too hard to implement, and frankly I am just happy with the update as a whole.
I was going to show footage of me having the game open while I play other games (to sum up I often just have the game open while doing whatever, even playing other games), but the footage ended up being a bit lame + I don't even have a video editing software to splice it together, so whoops.
Anyway, sorry if this came off as overly negative or such (or rambly), I utterly adore the game.
Also, you can't add images to reviews for some incomprehensible reason, but I am switching my review to 5 stars just because of custom managers.
