What a great compliment.  Thank you.

You must've seen the commented-out ball effects code. :)  I never completely pulled that code out because I'm still hoping to have enough memory left over to do something with it.

Right now, I only have 27 free bytes of ROM (but that number is sort of spongy because of the music and level data)...  I have two bytes of RAM available that I might be able to leverage to save some (hopefully significant) amount of ROM.  I don't want to promise anything, but I'd love to implement "breakthrough" and "slow down" power ups, plus some ball effects.

Outside of that, please keep the comments and suggestions coming and thanks for the comments so far.
