Good setup and graphics looked nice. Unfortunately on Win10, lots of flickering until redraws seemed like they weren't even happening. Would be kind of neat if you could get some more Lisp idioms in there -- maybe "lambda" pickups that add new "single use anonymous bomb functions" or something. It might also be interesting if actual paren keys could be used (not sure how... just trying to develop the theme).

Really snappy controls and nice graphics, though jeez, I am not a good gamer please give me a couple of health points!
Unfortunately, it took me 3 tries to run this game.
Idk why Windows 10 gave me so many issues, but I thought I'd let you know (and anyone else wanting to properly rate this game)... oh do I miss the days of Java Servlets...
1. Windows 10, latest consumer JRE from oracle, apparently out of date?
2. Windows 10, latest developer JDK, runs... but uh, the frame draws are flickering and some sprites just won't show. 
3. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (can't upgrade for GPU reasons)-- runs just fine with the latest openjdk JRE from apt... which is funny because so many things are not up to date.
