Cute, I love it! Thanks for sharing this.

It would be just a little bit better though if the paddles just missed the ball when the time changes rather than entirely stepping aside.

But still wonderful, nevertheless.

It took me a while to figure out that the time would advance when one of the paddles missed. I was also disappointed by the way it missed by intentionally moving to the top of the play field.

I wonder how difficult it would be to code it so the miss was more convincing.

I spent longer than I care to admit trying to find the player keys..
