Contact: hello@jinks.app --- Leahland: "This game reminds me of so many other classic games, but with its own unique style. It’s easy to pick up and play, but gets challenging pretty quickly." walkernyranger: "First game I’ve found in a while that’s super simple, yet addictive. Great if you need to burn just a minute or two!" rminerick: "Addictive and easy to pick up when you have a few idle minutes." --- How to play: Dodge objects to stay alive. Just tap to move to a new position. A new object is generated every few seconds when staying in place. But every time you move, a new one is created immediately! Moving creates a black hole, absorbing everything it touches. Time your movement wisely! Collect shield items to gain extra protection. When you get hit, your shield gets destroyed in an explosion. This explosion will destroy every object it reaches. Maintain control over the board by timing your movement and using your shields. Have fun!
