I'm with you - why not be the bug? But this little guy never gets away. Eventually, like all bugs, he gets caught. A deep and depressing metaphor I'm finding here...
Anyway, I'm seeing a similar problem I see in a few games: The "screen" is larger than the viewport the game plays in. So the bug and the X sometimes go off-screen to the right. Not sure if this is a "me" issue or not. I don't see it in all games, but yours is one of them.
