This is kind of off-topic, but I tried the game, and… it runs very smoothly, but though I see the moving thing instantly, chasing it around with the mouse pointer is very difficult, and clicking on it near impossible. Maybe this is a problem with using a mouse pad, or maybe I’m just old. As a test of my ability to see the moving thing, though, it’s not succeeding :).
