It's been a while since I last updated, but at least I've made some real progress.

• Improved mouse controls further.
• The game now captures the mouse cursor. For now, use alt-tab to switch programs. This will be improved in the next version.
• Alt+Enter will now switch back to user-defined window size instead of static default.
• The ball will now nudge inwards if caught in the paddle.
• Collecting two laser power-ups will unlock the unstoppable Mega Laser!
• Collecting a laser power-up while extended will allow the paddle to fire two lazers!
• Yes, these two effects do combine!
• Added bonuses to the scoring system.
• The score is now tallied at the end of each stage.
• Added the first enemy.
• Changed the paddle explosion animation some.
• Added more sound effects.

Hopefully, the next update won't take nearly as long to produce.
