Probably one of the most awesome game box arts ever devised.

Uploaded a demo. The source is included (incase i lose it, as i often do) if anyone wants to play around with it, though my c++ is rather unorthadox and completley uncommented.

You REALLY need to stop the ball from going off the top/bottom of the screen... or maybe have the screen follow the ball? Looking good either way.  |

Full-screen build makes all my screen black save for a small game screen on the bottom left corner.
Player movement is incredibly sensitive to button presses. A short press and I go flying off the screen.
I really like the parallax starfield background.

Screen size was fixed. Looks pretty nice full-screen.
Movement is still very fast, but that may just be how you implemented it. If you implement the screen bounds it should be more manageable.

well it is supposed to resemble movement in frictionless space, I was thinking of adding some small arrows to point out the players position when they go off screen.

Well, then at least reduce the player accelerationa bit and implement a maximum speed (as unrealistic as that is), otherwise it can get too unplayable (if possibly hilarious in multiplayer).

New version... added music using the Audiere library, slowed down acceleration, arrows point out position when off screen, you now have to press a key to hit the ball... R or E to hit upwards, F to deflect only changing its horizontal movement. (player 2 uses Y,U and H) This makes it initially more tricky, but allows you to play more tactically once you get used to it. Buzz_Aldrin_Space_Rainbow_Tennis_v0.4.zip |

Just played a little with demo 0.4.
This can potentially be very fun, but I had two major problems with playing:
1. The problem that Melly already pointed out, the player moves really really fast after a few consecutive presses on the movement buttons. If you won't reconsider limiting the player to the screen limits, then maybe you can add a small map and/or limiting the max acceleration for the character (I ran at 76 FPS btw).
2. Even when I press the "Hit" key when I'm near the ball, it only works like 5% of the times, renders it unplayable...
