Interesting but a bit lame.

1. The movement should continue in the same general direction, if 
not exactly the same. It is impossible to avoid something that 
can do anything.

2. The movement shouldn't accelerate so fast, it's harder to 
control where you want to go when if you hold the key down a you 
end up on the other side of the screen.

Of course, I doubt this was a game intended to be fun ;)

The good news is that you have a lot of upside. Consider making a 
video player... replace stinking flash! Could create better 
websites by having more programmatic functionality, etc.. (more 
app like websites)

The upside, from the initial looks, seems to be quite good if you 
go in that direction.
