Played this on Newgrounds before. The game has potential, but in its current state is quite boring. The biggets problem is the lack of challenge. Even with the most difficult settings it's easy to dodge the items that you don't want. And if you do touch the wrong item, it's not a problem. You can simply start with a new streak. Sure, you will get a lower score, but I don't really care about my score. I'd much rather have a "how long can you survive" than a "how many points can you get in this timespan". Although I think this game has neither.
One simple change you could make is that as you have started a 3-item-streak by picking up an item, you are no longer allowed to grab other items until you finish that streak. Else it's game over. With that, there are stakes, and the game would already be a lot more fun.
