I'm pleasantly surprised, looks much better in motion! Still, every screenshot that you or someone else takes of this game when the effect is active will look a little weird and may give a negative impression. I obviously don't know how you've realized this effect in detail but couldn't you use different weights (maybe Gauß?) to smooth the look of the blur?
