Unfortunately, it's a clone of a type of game that is commonplace on Flash portals. It doesn't have remarkable features beyond being polished - and what the press and the (word-of-mouth) public needs most to market the game for you is stuff that can be remarked upon. On HN the same rules don't apply because pure execution can be praised instead.

You're vastly overrating the size of the burble that HN sits in. On top of that, while this game is pretty, it's really not that unique.
