Nice visuals overall for the game from the text to the main character and game world.
Placement of paddles is good, and could perhaps have less spawn overall or make them spawn further a part to make it a bit harder / make choices to move around the game world more tactical between bounces. Obstacles to avoid sooner would also make it more interesting.
Sometimes when the paddles are moving down and close to the main player, they seem to affect the main character repeatedly and force the player down.
