Add more pictures so that more people will play your game, I'm just anal about getting a virus, so I'll play your game when you add screen shots :)

I like what you are trying to do... There is some good potential here. I couldn't create barricades. I assume that you need to upgrade.

I liked the feeling when you're close to an enemy and moving backwards and turning in sync; it felt like dancing.

I can't be too harsh because overall the game play is similar to my game, you just move backwards kiting things.

The biggest pain points were (1) the invisible edges, (2) B not seeming to do anything and (3) enemies spawning so close you can't respond in time to avoid. Address these and you've got a very playable game!

I think it's fine that you focused on mechanics and left the graphics minimal. Agree that enemies spawning so close you don't have time to avoid them is frustrating, but the general idea of the game is there and it's a good one. :) Nice entry overall!

The invisible walls on the top and bottom were the bad part, but I like the idea of using barriers to hold them back!
