You probably want to make it more clear that you're supposed to mouse over the dark lollipops and avoid the blue trees. I assumed the dark chars were the walls I shouldn't touch and just about gave up on it after it was constantly crashing. Then I read the description after the fold and figured it out. Also why not just implement the game in javascript using mouse position events and a canvas for drawing?

Dark lollipops? Blue trees? What operating system are you using? I'm on a Mac and the lollipops are pink and the trees dark green. I'm considering making a text-only version for people who have weird or no emoji support. Of course I could implement the game in javascript, with nice graphics and all, and perhaps gameplay that works in all browsers and doesn't crash Chrome, but wouldn't that defeat the point of the gam…
