It almost seemed like the blue ones should be big, not the red ones :D Really kind of reminded me of agar.io, atleast the gameplay mechanic of growing and avoiding. Neat game, and an interesting use of theme!

On Firefox 42, not sure if it's related to framerate or not, it's basically unplayable because it's so fast.  I managed to get to 4.89 or so.  I want to like it, but at least one of the following needs to happen I think:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>1.  Use about 25% of the current number of red balls.\r<br\/>2.  Maybe avoid spawning red balls near the player.  MANY times I died in less than a second of spawning.\r<br\/>3.  Don't kill the player on red ball hits, instead just bounce off of red balls.\r<br\/>4.  Slow down turning and movement speed by 50% at least.\r<br\/>5.  Slow down red ball motion.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Any one of those could make it much more fun.  :("},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:20pm","epoch":1450188900,"text":"Well made game!

I think you should lower sphere speed or maybe put the camera less close because it is really hard to avoid ennemies. I tried several times, I think my best score is something like 7.5.
