The WaPost had an article about the guy who made it...

Like the game; love the sandbox. Plasma shader and vorticity lines. Like rubbing your face on a shaggy dog. Add vorticity for that feeling like you've been drinking to boot. Wait, I have.
Where's my dog?

This is fun, but I can't seem to score in game mode. Has anyone worked out how to fool the CPU paddle?
Either way, sandbox is where the real fun is.

I love the look of it... it's just beautiful. But it's not really a game; you cannot beat the computer, and if you're awake, it cannot score on you either. It's more like... a screensaver that you can lose at if you stop paying attention.

Eh, well you can beat it like you can beat any arcade game -- until its level reaches some ridiculous height.
Me, I can regularly reach mid-20's and then I die on 27. I have never displaced that annoying "I cheated" guy on the fake leaderboard.

Now all we need is an easy way to export sets from the sandbox as screensavers.
