Pong Pinball

Keep ball in play as long as possible to gain maximum points.

Use left and right arrow keys to control paddle; or press "m" for mouse contol ("k" to return to keyboard control).

Known glitch: every once in a blue moon, the ball will 'jump' (transport itself) from a block to somewhere else with no known cause.

@Poli, I know how challenging it is at the moment. I was thinking about maybe moving the bumbers up a little and maybe widening the paddle at bit.

@Poli, I put a little more distance between the bumpers and the paddle to allow for a little more reaction time; plus, I increased the speed of paddle movement.

Maybe use the mouse as input and not the arrow keys. Just simply have a set y axis and take the mouses x axis.

@Spilli, I feel that if I allowed mouse control, the game would be too easy. I migh consider slowing the game down just a touch more; but I do not want it to become boringly slow.

I think it is too easy, you should make the Balls speed increase per time. But all in all it's a nice game, good job.
