Nice!

Here's my attempt at a _De Stijl_ themed classic game:

Interesting concept. Two suggestions:

1) Let the arrow keys be used to move the in-game paddle.

2) The "squares" where the ball has gone through, should change colours so after a while the players are able to create their own versions Mondrian compositions.

Great work.

Ponging with the mouse is awkward. There should be keyboard controls.

You can use Z & A, shows this in the options menu

It's made for mobile, which is the correct move in this day and age. But yes, should not be difficult to add keyboard controls too.

1) Use keys, not click on buttons.

2) The collision detection algorithm sometimes fails at detecting that the ball is on the pad.
