Oh, a falling, broken helicopter! Cute... I like objects that don't
simply explode in place... Maybe it would look good if the other objects
just kept on moving while exploding...

The paddle support seems not to look as good as in other games
(Breakout, for example). since there are obviously not enough gun
positions to choose from, and the gun also moves quickly enough using
the joystick. (The first time I played Breakout with a mouse... not
Arkanoid... :-) )

With love (and many helicopters to shoot)
