The cubes behavior on the harder difficulty certainly made things more interesting, I like the way everything slowly drifted apart. My main criticism is that the spawn rate of the spheres pretty much requires that you look up at all times, making it difficult to keep an eye on the ground. Perhaps a game like this could benefit from an aerial camera rendering to a minimap so you can track your position. Cubes changing color as they get deeper could also communicate this information a bit better. Not bad for your first swing at it though, keep it up.
I like that there is no rate of fire limit!
I loved the effect of the ground collapsing!
