It might be a bit late, but one bug and one suggestion:
When you're sitting on the bottom, sometimes flapping doesn't have any
effect. The wing flaps, but the paddle doesn't move. I couldn't figure
out any pattern as to when exactly it happened. Flapping again always
gets the paddle moving, but it does throw off your timing pretty badly.
Suggestion - After a score, cap the ball's vertical velocity so that its
angle is no more than 45 degrees off horizontal. If you (or the computer)
get scored on by a ball moving at a high vertical angle, it's too easy to
miss the next three or four in a row. (If you like it that way, keep it,
of course. :) )

I wasn't aware that those few private mails I dropped you were worthy of a
T-shirt, but if you think so, I'll take it, sure. ;)
