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!

Hello there, Terrarians! I am your mysterious radio host, Midnight, and I have a story to share with you. It is the tale of a brave space hero, who pilots the magnificent Vapor Falcon in a battle against the body snatching aliens from outer space. As you may know, the aliens have set their sights on Terra, our beloved home planet. They want to take over our bodies and use us as their own personal puppets. But our hero, with the help of the Vapor Falcon, is determined to stop them at all costs. Our hero will face many challenges and obstacles. They must navigate through treacherous asteroid fields, dodge laser blasts from enemy ships, and outsmart the cunning alien invaders. But with their quick reflexes and sharp shooting skills, our hero is more than capable of taking on whatever comes their way. In the end, it all comes down to a final showdown between the Vapor Falcon and the Mother Ship of the alien invaders. Will our hero be able to save Terra and protect the human race from being enslaved? Tune in to find out! Until then, stay safe out there and keep your eyes peeled for any signs of the menacing aliens. This is Midnight signing off
