Circle Stop is an addictingly simple one-button game for touch devices, from New York City's newest two person indie game studio Up at Night.

As the spinner goes round and round, tap anywhere to stop it. Hit anywhere on the target to score points. Hit the bullseye for even more points. Miss the target and get a strike; three strikes and you're out! But no matter what happens, there will be explosions of colors! 

Complete with leaderboards so you can challenge your friends!

I love the simplicity of this game. All you do is try to align the spinning circles with the no moving ones. I also like the different color options or more like themes. The music is great. Pretty relaxing with a slight challenge. Good time killer. Best player a few minutes here and there.
