You never know when life will throw you a curve ball, but when it does at least try to throw one back.

The same holds true for this game.  If you hit the ball with the very middle of the paddle you some kind of a bounus, but I'm still not sure what to do to get a better curve.  Sure, it's no pac man, space invaders or x-box, but like a lot of fun things, it's fun for a while.
