Sad to hear your plans got ruined, but here's a bug (no pun intended) I found.
If you die and tried to reload game kinda just doesn't.
Here's how to reproduce it (I did it in chrome and vivaldi). Start game-> kill a couple of beetles -> die -> get a js pop up to reload -> press okay on it -> bettles are now going backwards -> reload the page -> loading screen flashes blue then goes back to black and stops before the game is loaded.
