Hello everyone,
this is my new Game, Squashy. It has a special Function, which you can test out.
Gameplay:
Right / Left arrow key to move the paddle to the Right or Left
X for a paddle boost
O to start the Game
The Goal of the Game is to hold the Ball over the Bottom. When the Ball comes to the Right/left or Top of the screen, the ball is coming back.
When you see something in the game that is wrong, it would be great, then you me write a comment.
Hope you like this Game.

I also had the idea for a paddle boost when I made a squash game! I like your game over screen. I would recommend either bounding the paddle to the screen or having it wrap around if you go off screen. Sometimes a ball gets caught inside the paddle, which can have annoying consequences. Suggestions:

1) Bounce the ball when it passes the top of the paddle instead of when it hits the bottom.
2) When you bounce the ball, teleport it back to the top of the paddle so that it doesn't get caught inside.
