Great innovation on an old classic!
A fun experience, I really love this game. The music, the visuals, the intensity of the game play; all exceptionally well done. I believe hiding the pointer would enhance the game play. However, I could see some players dragging the pointer out of the window and therefore getting no response from their paddle (I know I did). All in all, great work; keep it up!
P.S. I downloaded the zip and launched the swf file. It was just a solid black screen. I tried skipping frames, play/stop, rewind, but to no avail.
