There are a lot of things I like about it. Power-ups are fun and creative, the music is great, and the shifts in music are a clever way to signal you about what power-ups are active.
That said, luck does play too large a role in the game. When you're a third of the screen's width, there is literally nothing to do but cross your fingers. Part of what makes games fun is their direct correlation between effort and reward. A game where you can't affect the outcome isn't fun. It's frustrating. There's no reason to invest time in something that can randomly screw you over at any moment.
Tetris involves some luck. But you can still take that luck and influence the outcome. Poker's the same way. You can't control the cards you're dealt, but you CAN make decisions about your hand. Luck is involved, but you can still take action.
That's part of what makes a game fun. The odds can be bad, but they should never insurmountable, and when you put in time and effort, that should be rewarded.

Foolproof method to get hard badge: Avoid all bubbles and powerups except minesweeper and invincible. Destroy the mines by ramming into them if you have invincible, or shooting them if you have minesweeper. By avoiding bubbles, you prevent your size from increasing so you can just evade and wait for good powerups. At the same time, destroying mines gives you good points and does not increase your size.

I think I must have been very lucky with the powerups (quite a few repels and invincibilities), I got over 3,000 on my second go!

I understand having the mines already deployed when getting the "all bubbles" powerup, but what use is it when there are mines being deployed while it is still on? Am I the only one having that problem?

Bubble 2 in 30 seconds.
/Oh look powerups. /Yeah!!! 200 points! /I'm on a roll!!! *Moves bubble towards a power up and receives agility. Rebounds off the wall on to a mine.

Have a button that you press to restart and start the game instead of using the mouse to hit "Start Game" every time i die.

It's way too frustrating to try to earn enough points for that second badge, it's a game of chance and it's just not fun enough to want to continue being frustrated.

Some of the powerups turn out to be powerdowns that can actually hinder your gameplay. Stuff like Invincibility and Bullet-time are always welcome, but bouncy and speed at the same time? Yeah, no.

Enough complaining about the randomness of the bubble generator already. If you want to use skill to easily complete the the badges, just avoid all small bubbles and only collect the powerup bubbles for as long as possible, they barelt make you grow and give you 15 points, also the minesweeper and invincable modes give you 10 points per mine you destroy without growing the bubble.

Wow, many games have broken movement commands where they love to make me stick moving in a certain direction, but this is by far the WORST at it.

Not a fan - because I am a fan of games that require some kind of skill to play. If you enjoy matching wits against a random numbers generator, this is the game for you!

Winning the hard badge seems to involve hitting invincibility or all bubbles at the point where it becomes impractical to dodge.

Very un-polished game... The 'bubble' handles like crap, the controls are sluggish and often result in a unfair death, there is far to many times where it is IMPOSSIBLE to continue... PLAY TEST YOUR GAME OR DONT RELEASE IT!
