Use your mind to gain control of seemingly sporadic and random paddle.

No need to tap, no need to swipe or tilt.
Hold your phone in your hand and 
either:
- concentrate your mind
- or move your body 
- or dance in rhythm with music
- come up with a new kinetic way to interact

Features:
infinitely dynamic gameplay, infinity of ways to manipulate the paddle
procedurally-generated levels multiply that infinity
respawns for exploration "infinitivise" your choices
near-death bullet time reminds you that time is finite
Butterchurn visuals* expaaand your consciousness and hypnotize you!!

Hints:
Switch to Mode: Basic game mode if visuals are overwhelming or give too much GPU-heat energyyyy.
Enjoy Audionautix.com sound or play the game with music of your choice (flip Music switch). Souncloud support is coming.
Move freely between game modes without losing progress.
Tap around to discover hidden features.
Play in heightened states of consciousness to enjoy it infinitely (the game would amplify it)

Additional psy-features:
self-awareness and MILD/WILD lucid dreaming reminders (experimental)
old-school intro
master real mind-control with energy console and minimalistic Game-modes (Basic, LCD, Black&White)
randomly-generated bugs and features
energy store where energy is strictly monoidal

Explanations:
“Energy Paddle” relies on “embodied mind” concept under the hood - the level of concentration is quantified (and qualified) as a function of overall motor performance measured as a scalar of raw kinetic energy transferred to device. The exercise is aimed at increasing self-awareness (in rather formal, Gestalt-therapy, sense) and improving cognitive functions responsible for sense of rhythm, balance, coordination and pattern recognition.

Note: the "mind-reading" aspect of the game is more emphasized in "Mode: Basic" mode where noticeable "conscious" movements are filtered in favor of subtle unnoticable ones.

Generally, the app has intent recognition accuracy comparable to lower-tier non-invasive BCIs, since, speculatively, electric impulses in brain, that are strong enough to create potentials for EEG are often strong enough to reach neural pathways leading to muscles.

P.S. Lets hope that everyone reads descriptions, because it is actually that something else made me write this game, so idrk how it actually works and what its gonna do to you.
