You've read more into one line of copy than is there, and I'd rather be funny than argue — but the point stands poorly as a grievance.

The robot speeds up because that's the whole game: a paddle that never misses isn't a challenge. There's no goalpost move, no hidden difficulty ladder, and no server deciding your fate. It's a canvas element and a ball, on a page anyone can view-source.

What would actually make your version true is if the game got harder the better you played, quietly, with no endpoint. It doesn't — it just moves faster until you miss. That's a decent metaphor, but it's a metaphor about practice, not about Davos.

High score is public. Beat it.
