Very nice. It's too easy to bounce the ball back at a perfectly perpendicular angle to the bat however. Maybe add a tiny amount of randomness to the reflection angle.

Top work! I'd love to see a writeup of how it was done.

This is brilliant. But I got bored soon because there were too many bricks. Maybe you should increase the size of the bricks.

The number of bricks has been decreased slightly. I don't want the single level that the game consists of to be defeated too easily so there's still a pretty high density.

Great stuff! Would be lovely to have it like a bookmarklet so I can play it on any page's DOM :)

Something like: http://erkie.github.com/

How about reducing the bricks again significantly, and instead measuring the time players take to complete the level? They could then post their high score to Facebook or something.

I felt the level was too easy, after a while it just got repetitive.

If you want to make it harder, then you should consider making it faster and the reflection angles a bit more random.

Or as Udo suggests, play for time.
