Drag your dot to weave through escalating bullet patterns — survival time is your score, and one hit ends the run.
Touch and drag anywhere to steer your dot — the offset between your finger and the dot is locked when you press down, so the dot follows your finger without snapping under it. Bullets spawn from the screen edges in mixed patterns: aimed shots, fan spreads, full-ring bursts, and side sweeps. Every fifteen seconds the bullets get faster and the patterns get denser. One bullet touch and the run ends; score is survival time (+10 per second) plus near-miss bonuses.
Stay in the middle of the open space, not against an edge. Edges look safe but they limit your escape directions — when a bullet zips past, you have nowhere to retreat. Living near the center gives you four ways out of any incoming line.
Near-misses give bonus points, but only intentional ones. The bonus rewards you for grazing — it's worth staying slightly closer to bullet paths than feels comfortable, gaining tens of points each pass. Don't chase grazes when a safer reroute exists, but accept them when the path through is already tight.
Watch the spawn edges, not the bullets in front of you. New patterns telegraph half a second before bullets become dangerous — if you read the spawning edge, you're already moving toward the gap before the player who watches bullets-in-flight has to react.
Move early, not in a panic. Each pattern's safe lane is wider than it looks if you start sliding toward it the moment the pattern spawns. Last-second jukes work for one bullet but stack badly when two patterns overlap.
