Really well built, and I love the tutorial...

BUT

Jeepers, it starts off so hard compared to the tutorial.

1. I was not expecting bubbles to move (since they are all static in the tutorial).

2. I wasn't expecting a golf/par scoring thing.

3. I didn't realise you could (and should) start powering up during the countdown at the start.

4. Took me a long time to realise you can just click quickly to create bubbles, without having to do the aim-and-shoot thing.

5. Straight away I felt like I was being insulted by having my score described as "Disaster" etc.

6. There's no way to get back to the tutorial.

So overall, I'd say:

- there are fun mechanics here

- it's good there is a tutorial

- but the tutorial did not prepare me for the game

- the game felt too hard too quickly and mean

One more kibitz, each level should give you the option to replay at the end so you can hone your skills, and only your best score should carry over.
I came to the comments for the very same reason. I feel like replaying a level until you complete it should be mandatory or at least optional.
