The main thing that confused me was what the keyboard keys were supposed to do. They usually, it seems like, would move the mouse blob somewhere off the top of the screen; and then sometimes something weird would happen. I think maybe I was hitting debug keys I wasn't supposed to be hitting. What I eventually realized is that at least some of my confusion was because playing the game on "good" graphics made a lot of stuff seem to not work right, like things were not responsive to my mouse actions. When I played on "fastest" suddenly the whole thing made way more sense.
