An ultra-minimalist Roguelike exploring the concept of focus. You are a circle. You are chased by triangles. Eliminate as many as you can before they reach you. How: Move your circle around by dragging it. Pick incoming triangles by tapping to select (or unselect) them. Your circle will only attack them when it isn't moving. Triangles slow down and shrink as they get damaged, and eventually disappear. Advice: Pick an attack plan and stick to it. Learn to pick the right target(s) and persist before moving onto other targets. When moving your circle, think ahead and make decisive & quick moves. Do not spread your shots or constantly move around, if you do so you will be overwhelmed. Pro Tip: Learn when not to listen to advice. Good luck!
