It's a neat looking pong game that throws in a few twists that are kind of... eh.
For starters, pressing up the moment the ball hits your paddle will speed up the ball. This has a few unfortunate side effects though, as the ball can actually phase through the opponent's paddle if it travels fast enough. There also seems to be a weird issue where if the ball travels fast enough into a wall it will stick and slide along it instead of bouncing back immediately, making it hard to judge where the ball will land if it bounces off the wall. And because the ball is not reset after each goal, multiple points are rewarded if the ball hooks on to one of the "goal" walls.
Then there's this cute little "twist" where on occasion, the ball will simply defy physics and randomly fire itself in whatever direction it wants.
The biggest issue with the game though is that it's pong, and pong gets old fairly quick.
