The hit-box of the player is a little bit too big IMO.
Only complaint is that the screen is a bit too busy to focus on anything.
(But that might be intentional)
The player and enemies could have used a little more contrast to make them easier to separate visually from the background.
Could be more fun if the hitbox on the main character was a bit smaller. The blue guys pushing you sometimes feels like you lost control (may also be the conveyor belt). I thought that it was kind of emergent when a blue guy pushed me into the dots.
After you understand all the mechanics and the hitbox then it's fine.
Having to reload the page to replay was pretty annoying. A bit jittery on Pale Moon (a Firefox based browser), but ran pretty smoothly on Chrome.
