Oh, look at all those colourful shapes falling from space. They look so pret- OH NO, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! Careful, they look like they can poke your eye out! We really need to get rid of them...The only one who can exterminate them is this pink-feathered, uh, dinosaur-like... creature... thing... (or "Dinothing" for short) and some deadly lasers. (Pew pew.)

How to Play

Shoot the floating enemies to make them explode and earn points. Each shape has its own unique shrapnel pattern, which can hit other shapes in a chain reaction and subsequently increase their point values.

Touching an enemy or a piece of shrapnel will make you lose 1 health point (HP). The game ends when you've lost all your HP. You start with 3 HP and they regenerate automatically as long as you don't take damage. Dashing can help you pass through enemies and shrapnel without taking damage.
