About the racket speed
I was told that some people want the racket to be able to move slightly faster, and more quick swings should be allowed. but it may make the game very easy in my opinion. I've spent quite a lot of time balancing the game, and I like the current difficulty. However, this is just my opinion, and if people have difficulty with it, I'll be able to make a difficulty selection or something like that.
The most important point in this game is to predict where the ball will come. Since the current grabity setting in missions is relatively low, and the elasticity of the ball is high, 2 or 3 mistakes won't make you lose the game.
About the paning
I understand the racket isn't so wide, and hitting the ball with it is hard. Especially, for those who have hearing loss. Maybe, I'll have to create some preferences menus to make the paning width adjustable.
Btw, I was sooooo surprised to see more than 500 scoreboard entries within only 2 days. Thank you everyone for playing the game and great suggestions!

I wouldn't change the paddle speed  or width, it seems great as it is. Love the game so far, which has basically taken over my New year's Day. Thanks for releasing it.

Very well said Ukio. The game is extremely well balanced. The racket swings slow to force players to time their swings rather than constantly mashing the swing buttons to get a hit. It would turn it into another button mashing experience, and one which I do not care to have. In my opinion, this game is so well done that people that are complaining about the way it works probably aren't trying hard enough, or maybe this type of game just isn't for them. Yes, there are a couple bugs to be fixed, and yes, it still could use additional modes or other things to do, but the fundamentals are all there, and they should stay right where they are.
I've been closely observing how the physics of this game work, and I have one little suggestion to add even more realism. Correct me if I'm wrong on this Ukio, but the speed of the ball and how high it is capable of going seem to be two entirely independent variables. the speed can drop all the way down to zero, but the ball is still flying way up there, just at a slower rate. A ball in real life is sure as hell not going to do that. On second thought, maybe you meant this to be a perk for the player for bouncing the ball off the racket, temperarily defying the laws of physics like that. My suggestion is that the racket should not allow the speed or the max height to decrease. Not realistic, but the alternative is to remove the perk entirely which would cause me to be hated by every one of you . I know I had another suggestion in mind, but seeing as it's 3:00 AM, I'm not surprised I forgot it. Don'[t forget about my recording guys. The link is in my last post.
Edit: Aah yes, one pretty important thing I forgot to mention. Since I created my last post and the recording, my high score has risen to 1289, surpassing everyone on the forum so far, at least for now. Needless to say, I'm pretty proud.

Hello,
I've been trying this game for a while now, and honestly, I hadn't been so addicted to a game for a few months. I'm more of an arcade-ish game person, and score attack mode is really something I had been looking for without even knowing for a few years. Indeed, the game is pretty hard, especially for people like me who have always been stuck to audiogames, where realistic physics never appeared before. My high score still doesn't surpass 700, but I'm working on it. I like gaming, but I am honestly not too good at it.
I do believe this engine has *A LOT* of potential for future improvements. Power-ups, special blocks or platforms and multiple balls are just a few of the things that would make this game even better than it already is. Of course, not everyone might like to have these elements around, so if they are ever implemented, I think these should be optional.
Has anyone thought of having a mission designer, so that we could have user-created boards and compare high scores here on the forums or wherever? I think it would also be a good idea, if it's not too hard to do.
As much as I'm still quite bad at the game, I don't think I want it to be any easier. Maybe I'm just trying to prove myself that I can get a better score or something, but I think it should be kept the way it is. If you keep practicing, it's not impossible.
Thanks Yukio, and happy new year!

This is a promising game with a lot of potential, I'm enjoying what I've played so far.

The only thing I will say needs to be improved is the ability to hit the ball (the raquette should be slightly larger and you should be able to hit it with a little more leeway as to the distance between the ball and the ground.  I get the game is meant to be hard, but there are times wheree you are trying to hit and keep missing it just because of this small element.

Hello,
@sightless: Remember you can move above and toward the ground, and you can try to learn the ball pitches at each height before launching it onto the field and plan your next move. Or, you could have fun trying to find the sweet spot as I like to call it, it's very useful in later missions. Even then, there's no guarantee you will hit the ball, especially when gravity takes hold and the ball is going very fast. I managed to get it to literally fly around the table all over the place at one point, and trust me you will eventually get what I mean when you manage it, it's very satisfying.

err. yukio. I went to your side yesterday and try to download the games. it seems google translate is broken. so, I couldn't translate all your webside. and I can't find the game and bread. did you removed the dropbox link, when i click is says 404 not found to the english set up. thanks

Hello;

I'm going to remove that post because I had a little problem with dropbox. It's fixed now but since yukio said that his link works fine, I'll take my dropbox link down.

Seems I'm the first to break 2000. Somebody beat my score of 1803, so I decided to try and break the record again. Poor Michael only got to enjoy his number 1 rank for a few hours, because I now have 2033 points. Weee!

Hi.
Sorry, I've read ironcross's post just now. I was also thinking about slightly increasing the horizontal moving speed. Let me think about it until the next update comes.
V1.02 with some bugfixes has been released.
2016/01/09 Version 1.02
Fixed : The timer now stops when the block list menu is opened.
Fixed : Some typos have been corrected.
Fixed : The bonus counter now doesn't stop after skipping the cleared dialog in score attack.
Fixed : The keyconfig options are now properly saved and restored.

That's not a bug, it's a feature. If you could swing too fast, then the game would be easier.

Hello,
@abdul: I can sort of see what you mean but that's also not the point of this game. If you get the ball high enough you won't have to swing it very fast, it's not about being the fastest. The ball is not just going toward you, it's actually going higher and lower on the screen as well, which is why it's quite hard to hit sometimes and it's why you can move your bat up and down.
