Thank you all! Since I have no experience with music sequencers and the short time available, I decided to use a tool for automatic music generation (http://www.earslap.com/projectslab/otomata). Fortunately, the result is perfectly suited for the game!

Initially, I have not thought of a game for smartphone, but the result seems made for a tablet!

Very nice graphical style. Interesting gameplay idea.
Definitely could work as a mobile game.

Music is so-so.

The look is clean and simple. I like that. I sometimes die out of the blue while there aren't any red cirlces to be seen near them. Highscore 981 :P This game has a lot potential!

I made a game with the same name that is also about circles and lines, somewhat... Anyway, really nice art style. The gameplay is kinda simple but with a few additions (if you want to continue it) it could become pretty interesting. Good job!

Very creative. I haven't played many puzzlers like this, but this is definitely one of the better ones. Easy to pick up and play.

I realy like the idea, and can find tactics to push all balls at the same time (triangle or line shapes). Music and art fit perfectly the game. I would like some way to recover a bit of health, by making contact with another ball type maybe.

Really cool original idea. The aesthetics were great. I agree with everyone else, this would make a great mobile game.

Innovative concept, excellently executed and polished to a tee. Also, very addictive with a 'just one more try' feel to it -- sell it on mobile and you'll be a rich man/woman.

Very crisp, as people have previously said, has the makings for a great mobile game. Great job ;)

Sounds a lot like stretching the theme. By the same logic almost all FPS could fit the theme because you only carry one gun at the time.
...
Having said that, I freaking love this game!
Really simple, highly engaging mechanic. And it looks and sounds really good!
Congrats!

You know... I wrote that last comment and shut my pc down for the day. as I did it I thought about your game again and realized I was totally wrong about it stretching the theme. It fits perfectly. haha. my bad.
