I may have gone a tad overboard on the particle effects

This is an Android game I'm making called Octabonk. I've posted a couple updates on it before, so here's another one since I've gotten a lot done in the past few days.

The idea is it starts out just pure black and white like a retro Pong game, but as your score gets higher, it adds more graphical elements to distract you. Also making it harder the longer you go is that your paddles shrink, the ball speeds up, and the random influence on where the ball bounces grows stronger.

More gameplay here: https://youtu.be/Xm6DLPNM8lE - Shows off a bit of the menu, some sound effects, and how the game transitions from simple black and white to colors and particle effects.

I'd like to put it on iOS too, but I unfortunately don't have access to an iOS device.

Thanks. It was like the tenth name I came up with, because somehow everything else I thought of was already taken.

Or you could just go all out like Space Giraffe. https://youtu.be/Xl6vKTP7KPs

It's basically Tempest on acid.
