Couple points.

1) The name isn't really descriptive of the game play. With the obvious caveat that many games, indeed, have names that don't relate directly to their content, many of the most successful ones do. Angry Birds, Halo, Super Mario Bros, World of Warcraft, etc.

2) The term "thick lips", while not directly insulting anyone, still has many negative connotations in the US of referring to folks of African descent. A similar scenario might be present if you made a game about collecting firewood and called it "Fags".

3) Your game might just be boring. (Please don't take this the wrong way as I haven't played your game)
