Thanks! June is the (conservative) target date. I've expressed interest to
Al at AtariAge in publishing with them. There's an In Development page for
it here:
http://www.atariage.com/development_page.html?InDevelopmentID=76
The page was created yesterday and the screenshots are already out of date!

I added it to my proposed features doc. The current code relies heavily on
the fact that the paddle is mirrored from the top and right to the bottom
and left. The inclusion of this feature may, in the end, be dependant upon
how much remaining ROM I have left. Still, the more gameplay variety the
better!

Yep, I need to write custom paddle reflection code. Right now, it's using
the brick reflection code... which is great for bricks... but bricks don't
move!

That's really great to hear! I appreciate your comments and your vote of
confidence.
I've got the in-laws coming out this week (and staying in the "office" slash
"guest room"), so it's doubtful I'll get much done in the very near future.
After that, however, development should ramp back up.
