My entry got frontpaged on Newgrounds yesterday and it was the best thing that's happened to me lately :D

(Check out the second link to Newgrounds also please someone tell me how to decrease the screenshot sizes)
After receiving feedback, I added the following features for the post-mortem version on Newgrounds -
* A common feedback I received was how it doesn't encourage the player to leave the safe zone. The safe zones are intentionally placed in the game to allow the player to breathe, so instead of removing them I added a streak multiplier so players who act fast and think on their feet are rewarded.
* If you login to Newgrounds, you'll see a button that shows you the leaderboard for the difficulty you're playing in on the game over screen (hopefully). It was the first time I've used the Newgrounds API and it was a nice learning experience.
* Also minor bug fixes, though nobody mentioned them.
