Breakout in 500 chars

Breakout is one of the first games I played, so I knew it had a good hook - I just had to squeeze it into 500 chars. This is the whole code for the game, including gfx and sfx: 

▥=120웃=mset
for x=1,14 do
for y=2,9 do
웃(x,y,1)sset(x,y,7)
end
end
x=64s=.2r=2p=56l=3h=0y=▥
function _draw()
t=pget(x+s,y)>6
if t or x<0or x>127do
웃((x+s)/8,y/8,0)s*=-1
if(t)h+=1?"\ae"
end
cls(1)map()pset(x,y)rect(p,▥,p+16,▥)
if(btn(1))p+=3
if(btn(0))p-=3
t=pget(x,y+r)>6
if t or y<0do
if(t)h+=1?"\ag"
웃(x/8,(y+r)/8,0)r*=-1
end
if(l<1)s=0r=0?"k.o.",58,99
if y==▥ and x>p and x<p+18do
s+=sin((x-p)/16)*.5
?"\ac"
r*=-1
elseif y>128do
l-=1s=0r=-2x=p y=▥?"\ae0cg"
end?"★"..h.." ♥"..l,0,0
x+=s y+=r
end

It is somewhat legible, let me know if you're interested in annotations.
