Huh. Interesting. Do the controls freeze or the game itself? I'm not sure what would cause that; the game was developed on a proprietary HTML5/JS engine.

There's an error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'qb' of undefined c2runtime.js:105 g.Jq c2runtime.js:105 g.qb c2runtime.js:102 si

I wish I could make sense of that error for you haha...

Looks fun, but the red balls are frustratingly hard to hit. You should make it go fullscreen, I keep clicking my bookmarks and taskbar! EDIT: I might've found a bug. One of the red balls escaped the game field near the top-left corner while moving in a horizontal trajectory.

Yeah I've seen/heard from folks that this happens; will fix sometime later today! Thanks!

Check your browser addons and try disabling them - some clunky addons clobber Javascript that the Construct 2 engine uses and breaks it.

Tried in incognito mode where everything is disabled. Still, it freezes with the same error. (Windows 8.0, Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m)

Huh, odd... I'm afraid to investigate further you'd have to ask the game author to trial a non-minified version with you. I'd be keen to find out the cause so if there's an issue in Construct 2 we can fix it.

Looks neat, but I would play with nicer palette. Also the hardness is increasing hyperbolically so after those small red dots appears it's almost impossible to survive.

The color palette was pretty random haha; if you have a better color scheme to recommend, I'd love to see it! And I'm currently trying to find a good balance for size and speed such that the game is very challenging, but not impossible.

Whichever color scheme you choose, make sure it works for colorblind folks too! I'm not colorblind myself, but I know it's a good source of frustration for them.
