Took a while to figure out you could "eat" smaller bubbles to grow larger, was a lot more fun after that :)
In Osmos (a similar game) the coloring of the bubbles makes it much easier to distinguish which bubbles are edible and which are dangerous. I think the this rendition could be improved by getting new colors, and maybe saving red for dangerous things, and not the player :)

Something needs to be done about the end game. Currently skill doesn't make a difference. It relies on the perfect storm of you absorbing a chain of increasingly large bubbles. In 6 attempts this didn't happen as I was surrounded by huge bubbles. 4 times I was reduced to like 4 pixels and had to work my way back up again. Perhaps a bigger playing area. Make it full screen? Then have more bubbles of varying sizes. Thi…
Not that there's any affordance for it, so something still has to be done with the game. But the title says "unfinished", so I think we're good :)

Takes a combination of luck and skill
Speed through quick iteration to out maneuver and eventually devour the big guys
Frequent failures due to bad starting conditions
Partnering with the right people early on is vital
Later on you need your acquisitions to be large enough to move the needle
Sometimes there is really no way to oust the established player in a mature market from a small players perspective
Cool concept!
