It was nothing about performance. On the plus/4 you can't have a colored sprite. It would be possible to draw perhaps a white ball (or perhaps two colored), though  ! Not sure about this, never wanted to code a game like this, perhaps it's possible even without a double buffer by triggering the paint and remove of the sprite on the right rasterlines. Thanx for the correction! :)
edit: perhaps it is even a bit more easy to code this on a plus/4 than on a c64 because of the hardwarebitmap scrolling. However, I would not try it!
the c64 version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls6pxVKttQ0
edit2: In the video for the c64 version is stated, that it never will get finished due to the low memory. So Litwr is most probably right about the memory issues.
