Interesting take on the whole concept of pong. As well as just avoiding missing ball for high score, you can emmit a fluidic substance from your paddle, which merges with the rest of the fluid to creat interesting currents which temper the balls path, and you can suck in surrounding fluid into your paddle (and the ball, potentially) creating, and then release it all as a shockwave. Pretty fun, and fairly psychodelic. Think if Jeff Minter did a version of Pong without involving fluffy animals in it for the sort of gaming experience it provides.
Still a little rough round the edges, however, and the AI is slightly lacking in 'I'.
