Fun game. On the mobile it would be great if I could tap anywhere on the screen and not just the black area as my thumb obscured the paddles sometimes.

#33flappy pong!
Great game-feel and sound.
Only complaint is a standard one: on mobile, your thumb obscures the play area. Maybe have a surrounding area be touch sensitive? Or say it's part of the challenge, to switch thumbs, like you're playing both sides...

#35Wow, the parabolic motion for this is spot-on. It seems you faithfully reproduced s=(a*t^2)/2, or got extremely close to it - very impressive :) It's also very responsive.

#40Impossible to play on a 280hz monitor. I see you're using Date.now() to calculate the delta. Instead, use the first argument given to you by requestAnimationFrame for higher resolution, which is a DOMHighResTimeStamp[0]
