Simple but rather cool and addictive! My best score was 4...
Good rendition of an old classic :-) Few tips if you're looking to improve: - The physical movement of the ball could be touched up a bit. at the moment it bounces off seemingly randomly rather than following it's normal angle of deflection after it's hit the block - Are the blue balls doing anything? Might be good to explain what they are if they serve a purpose! - The ball can sometimes get caught in the players head instead of bouncing off it if he's moving up at the same time as the ball hits him - Lives for when you lose the ball? - Some form of game over screen when you've got rid of all the blocks would be nice, or maybe some levels - It's a tad easy at the moment, perhaps the ball could be sped up a bit? Good start though! Michael

Nice! Perhaps it could do with a couple more levels, but I'd say it was about the right level of difficulty and pretty easy to pick up too. On the last level though you might want to have a look at the images, both your character and the lightning bolt appear as the default "green foot" image.
Nice game! It's a bit too big to fit on a laptop screen all at once at the moment though - I'd recommend taking the height down a lot, perhaps even halving the size. Otherwise lots of people will have to scroll whilst playing, which gets quite tiring!
Great idea behind this scenario, the concept's very good. However, I'd suggest adding a bit more time, I didn't have a chance to get anywhere near the top before the time ran out!
Since this is a demonstration, the source might be useful so people can see how it's done? :-)

Managed to get up to level 4, 3300 points :-)
Nice update! Minor bug - you might want to guard against the user not entering anything in the input boxes when they pop up ;)

Perhaps it'd be a good idea to restrict the number of times you can hit per second or something like that? At the moment it seems quite easy to knock everyone out by just holding a or s down. Also, is there a difference between pressing a and s?
