I liked the menu, but I think it would be helpful to push some of the words a little more towards the center of the screen. Half the words were cut off for me, but I think that having them slide in from the side made it clear that it was supposed to be the menu.
I also liked the gameplay. The first 2 or 3 tries I was a little confused but once I got it it was a fun arcade style game. I think a small tutorial before the first round, where the game goes a bit slower and details the objective quickly might clear up a lot though.
