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

Fantastic work - I love these kinds of zany hacks. Though, this should be combined this with some "Defender of the Favicon" magic for extra gameplay options! http://www.p01.org/releases/DEFENDER_of_the_favicon/

In Chrome 18, Opera 12.01 and Firefox 16 I also only get boxes. All on Ubuntu 12.04.

Doesn't work for me either in Aurora (Firefox 16) or Chrome 21 beta (on Windows 7).

I get the cop on the left and "squares" in the tab. While a cute idea it is not all that interesting as it sits in a single tab with Firefox. So the whole display is very tight as I have eight tabs.

Then there is the whole, just spam spacebar for the win.
