I do not understand how this game works. All I get is a lot of squares (Opera, IE9, Chrome)

What version of Opera and Chrome? Opera 12.01 and Chrome 21 work - this is what you should see in your title bar: http://o25.img-up.net/screen1239.png

In Chrome 21 (Win7-64) I only see squares moving in title bar In FF14 (Win7-64) the characters show, but are black.

I think it's because the author uses apple icons, so it doesn't render at all on windows machines.

I also only get squares. But if you hold down the space key you get endless amount of points :)

As lovely as it is, this will probably only work on Mac as both Windows and Linux don't support Emoji

And only current Macs to boot... it doesn't work under Snow Leopard.

EDIT: Looking at his home page, it’s pretty clear he is designing towards tablets first, and other machine types second…
