Much easier on 3rd time through the 34 screens. Re surviving the U on level 16 when the U is all the way down, I aim to the far right, shoot the ball, then move to the right fast so the ball bounces off the right corner of the paddle. Usually the ball will go up the right side after just one bounce. Yes it's tricky but you can get the rhythm and beat it.
