A perfect physics game app for those moments where you have just a few minutes to spare. You start out as a colored Dot floating in space and your objective is to try to collect as many spots that are the same color as you floating through space and simultaneously avoid colors that are not similar to yours. Touch a different color and you lose all your points and restart as the color you just touched. The similar colored spots you collect become your shield against the different colored spots floating around. Discover the new enemies as you collect more and more points. Use power-ups and advance your way to a higher score.
