What to say here that hasn't allready been said about the visual lag issue. The issue doesnt help with the ball jumping off the paddle with each new life, the lag issue is allready there so enter's the confusion. I tend to love brick games for the simplicity, but not having the option of mouse VS. arrow keys seems like a step backwards these days. Graphics are on par of what I expected so no issue there. At least give us some 8-bit music to get excited to. 2/5.....for now

This is unplayable on a trackpad. It really only takes a few minutes to add the option for keyboard controls to games. Why would anyone want to play this with a mouse, anyway?

one complaint, lag causes the visuals to stop, but the ball still continues to move according to the game, i have died cuz lag stopped me from moving and stopped the screen, but the ball (no visually) still moved and went below the bottom
3/5 till thats fixed somehow (make it more efficient so that lag does not occur, make it so that all the game will stop when lag happens, or something like that)
