Nice combination of Bubbles mechanic and dodging to avoid being killed.
The music was a bit too loud and repetitive for me.
Movement felt a bit stiff, and it's not always clear which color is coming next - the color appears to change sometimes? Perhaps because it's tweening from the previous color? Purple was especially hard to recognize for me.
I expected that shooting a ball into space away from the ship would make it go away, was a bit surprised that it bounces back. Maybe consider if you want to allow the player to "get rid" of a ball he doesn't want.
Decent color matching idea.
I found noticing my loaded color to occasionally be awkward, and had some performance issues...but an interesting take on the color matching genre.

Interesting mix of genres! Is something supposed to happen when you remove all the balls around the enemy ship? I expected the game or to get a new round or something.
Was there no "outro" in the game? I removed all the shields from the ship, blasted it away with it's eye color balls, and it vanished without fanfare.

@Detocroix, you are correct.
Will be added later on the after-ludumdare-version :)
Fun concept, things I've noticed has allready been mentioned in the post, but hey, it's a really great Ludum game! Good job:D
Very nice combination of the two genres. Ran into a couple of minor bugs, but still got to play a decent bit. Great job!
Neat little game, though the controls are pretty sluggish, and I found it a little difficult to move around the board without running into things. Nicely done!
Surprising combo of bubbles & space shooter! Since the color faded too slowly from one to another, I often found myself shooting a different color than I expected. Other than that, nice game. :)

Not bad at all. A new twist on the ball match games. Loved the music. Some more polish and you have a solid game.
Cool concept if it was fleshed out and controls were improved. Moving wasn't responsive enough, and nothing happened when I destroyed the ship, which was... a let down.
Nice concept, however!
Nice game, good music. Not bad!
