I really liked the visual effects! It was too disorienting for me while moving however to play properly lol. Good use of theme - it really became claustrophobic at the end!

Really nice effects! I found the camera movement made it hard to aim, and a little bit nauseating.

Very nice visual effects. However, it is not comfortable to play as the screen shrinks.
The explosion effect is gorgeous, but somehow I would have loved it to be more than a visual effect, and impact trajectories.

Really nice visuals, but I had a hard time understanding what was going in on, somehow i managed to stay alive for a while.

I liked the visuals and the game looked and felt really cool. I would say sometimes I lost the player as it blended in too much sometimes, I also though the particles meant the game was a bit confusing. Still really fun and the concept was really cool, I also really liked the camera angle. Overall well done really impressive!

Cool visuals. Especially liked the distortion effect. For me it started lagging a bit when there were a lot of particles/activity but overall fun to play.

Great graphics! I like the attention to detail in the various visual effects. In Chrome I didn't get any sound, because:
"The AudioContext was not allowed to start. It must be resume (or created) after a user gesture on the page. https://goo.gl/7K7WLu".
In FF I didn't get anything at all (mind you it's an old version).

As for the game, I think there are some issues which makes it less enjoyable than it could have been. First, I have problems seeing the mouse pointer in all the action. Second, there was a floaty feel to the game. I think the explosions can be made more satisfying.

Interesting idea. It seemed like aiming with the mouse does not work correctly.
