Yeah, probably for as long as I've been doing subpixel JoustPong.
I think if I half-noticed it, I mentally chalked it up to "inertia",
though a trivial test proved that false. Sometimes a single flap
does a little jump, and sometimes the player just sat there.
I think most people DO rest on the floor 'til the ball is headed their
way but I think a lot of people then start in w/ a
relative flurry of flaps, not noticing that the first was
ineffective. (someone said the floor should be lava, making the
player flap all the time, but that seemed a bit mean and resulting in
tired players. I mean, you have to learn how to hover just to hit
the ball, it's not like it's a new skill.)
I also took the chance to lighten up the grey of the score strip
and floor.
