I just played the yellow side and almost lost to the stationary blue blocker. Very challenging.

Putting 'fun' in the description always seems desperate to me. You can't convince people something is fun if it isn't. And this... I don't find it fun. Interesting? Sure. But I don't enjoy it.

  Whoops! It looks like you're posting a few months early to do the whole grinch thing. I had fun.

  Wow, people aren't allowed to offer criticisms and offer opinions on here, huh?

    You're not giving a criticism, you're just being a dick. As for offering opinions, you might want to try 1) making them constructive, and 2) not following a silly statement about the title being "desperate".

    Constructive criticism is highly encouraged, and even sought after. Under what conceivable perspective could your comment be viewed as constructive? You basically blurted out, "Me too... NOT!"

It's a good idea and somewhat funny but I keep wondering every day how hard is it to implement keybinding changes in javascript (or rather, all browser based) games? WSAD is impossible to use for at least ~150 million internet users due to keyboard layout. I'm talking about people who have never even heard about QWERTY keyboards and much less seen one.

  It's no easier than any other language. At the least, it requires a keybinding interface to let you set the keys. And that's a pain in the rear for almost no benefit. Most of the people browsing English-language pages have a qwerty layout. If I produce a 1-off, free game, I'm not going to spend the time and effort that goes into a AAA production.

This is awesome! I didn't realise you can jump with the up key. Also, I broke the single-player demo version by switching on bounce and upping the speed to 9999999. Oopsie.

This is great. I can't keep up with both the blue and yellow. Perhaps to make it more engaging for the game should control the blue ball and user can only control yellow one. This way I can play for more than 10 seconds :) I would love to see source and how you made it as well!
