Thanks for your feedback!
I get what you mean about the hands being confusing. The idea is that you hit the machine from the right, so the machine moves to the left and the ball stays in place (so it appears to move to the right).
And for the difficulty, we went un and down with the amount of points that are lost per impact, but in the end didn't have a lot of spare time to fine tune it, so that's how it stayed 😂
