Move the paddles with arrow-keys or 'A' and 'D'.

POTENTIAL PROBLEM:
If your framerate makes it impossible to beat the first level, then contact @MoreRalphGames on Twitter for troubleshooting. Sorry about that, I made this on a beefy computer and didn't realize that this was a problem and optimization is out of the question at this point.

One option is to lower the graphics settings and/or resolution in the Unity opening dialogue. That should help a lot.

This is really late.

Merry Christmas Hugs!

I only got to include four of the things (I made up a language, but didn't squeeze it in :( ). But I think they are good ones~

I learnt a lot making it, and had a lot of fun. Hope you like it. Can you can find the s e c r e t ?

Controls are configurable, but the defaults are

WASD to jog.
Left Ctrl to grab.
Left shift to walk.
Spacebar to jump
Backspace to restart.
Escape to quit.

If you have a controller it should work with that too--works with mine (but quit and restart are only on keyboard)!

Made with Unity 3D and Crocotile3D.
