A Circle Among Squares 3
A downloadable game
The Enemy Squares are still trying to Shot the Circle. With even better pausing abilities, the Circle makes a new challenge to mock them - survive to their onslaught until they just give up.
Survive for 1 minute in all 100 Levels. To do so, dodge Shots and don't let Enemies touch you. Enemies come in a variety of types and speeds. Time pauses whenever you stop inputting a direction, allowing one to choose your own pace. Failing a Level has no consequences.
