I did find it hard to see what was going on, and where I needed to move to, to get the next object. So being able to zoom in and out would a nice improvement I think.

Lvl 3 is a little annoying i died twice at the start not seeing the black mass you're automatically on course for to hit within a couple seconds of the level start.
