One thing to consider to increase the difficulty is to make jumping add to the vertical velocity a la flappy bird, rather than fix it to a certain positive vertical velocity. Right now a reliable strategy is to let the ball fall to a certain angle below the paddle, then spam jump to get a fixed trajectory to the paddle.

I disagree with this. I think it is fun as is

I think it's just fine as it. The paddle gets smaller and the ball gets faster so it becomes more challenging to do that.
