This app is broken itself, although funny. :) It ignores delete window protocol, so only Destroy works on it. It lists E and kwm as broken WMs too, but I see nothing broken here. It asks to draw on the icon window not on the main window, so if you iconify wmfishtime (without -b) in normal WMs, you will see an animation. The --broken option should be correctly named --not-in-icon. And I think it should be a default, while --in-icon may be an option.
