Escape from Pong!

Someone made this for the NES. I think it would be great on a TI83. It's an interesting and original twist on pong.

It's a pretty hard game, I just can't seem to control the ball to where I want him to go :?

Try the bw (backwards) version, much easier to control.

Didnt expect the author showing up here...

Great game really! Very original concept and good gameplay value. The simplest ideas are the best. The last level was kinda hard but after dying a hundred times I finally made a lucky move :)

If there is going to be a ti83 implementation, I would keep the unlimited lives feature, and add a clock. Goal would be to complete all levels as fast as you can. That would create some replay value. Optionally you could split the levels into groups, having a highscore for each group.
