Nice twist! It works really well and it looks good. It got me in that "one more try" zone for a bit. :)

I'm glad someone did this idea! I thought in that but wondering how to make it fun, and you did it fun! Great! Well polished

This one was silly, I liked it! At first I thought my goal was to escape the playing area (yeah yeah, I didn't read the instructions, lol) but then when I accidentally stayed for a while (I tried to leave but I kept failing!) I realized that the score in the background was the number of paddle hits I got! And then for some reason it got way harder for me for some reason. Anyway, I think there's a lot of potential for variants here - let someone else play the pong paddles and you play the ball trying to escape, for example. Really cool game!

The summary was right hahah. Sometimes I focus on the paddles instead of the ball so I keep failing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Hehe. Believe me, after making the game I still keep doing that as well. 50 years of muscle-memory, i guess! Thanks for playing!
