It freezes for me after about 5 seconds in (Chrome 36.0.1985.143)

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
