The ball can also be hit by the sides of the paddle, which may result in the ball deflecting in the same direction while mostly preserving its angle. If the ball fails to bounce off of the paddle and hits the screen's bottom edge, one life is taken away.
If the ball hits the ceiling, the paddle becomes shorter. This can first be observed in Stage 4.
