I get 0 points if I have it wrong. Is this is a bug or is that just how the algorithm works? It would be better to have a maximum score for each round and then basing the score depending on your browser size compared to the target.

+1 on this. I came very close on 3 different tries, but getting some points would have kept me hooked to get the perfect score.

the score depends on how long you need to get it right (within the countdown). the current points per round are calculated by the following formula: (100-(level+50)) * timeForRound/maxTimeForRound * 20 level can be (20|10|0) where 0 represents very hard and 20 represents easy. --- if there were always points no matter how far you're off the game would never terminate (unless the user decides to stop playing it)
