It works, (oddly enough the keyboard/joystick control worked far better on my tablet than the touch control setting did), but it's not great.
The sound is fine, but the game itself is lacking.

Everything is a circle, which makes telling things apart difficult- especially when the "player" circle shrinks to the same size as the rest.(doubly so if green or red is selected as the player's color.)
Why are there three colors of circle?
The red is definitely an obstacle, but it's not clear what green and yellow are supposed to be.
If they are also obstacles, why are they a different color and have no effect on my score?
If they are something else, why are they having no obvious effect on the score or the player circle?

Why does the player circle shrink?
Is it a debuff, a timer, or a compensation for the eventual build up of tiny circles?
What causes the game to end- it just seems to happen at random???
Why did I get a higher score sitting in place in the initial spawn than from actually attempting to play?
Why is single player mode called "background"?

The arrows that change the background design work, but I only found them by pure chance and the lightning backdrop appears to have been either placed improperly or the file itself was cropped wrong.

It's not a bad start, but it's not ready yet.

Hello there Griffonmender, thanks for your comment, we worked hard for this game to come true and every comments helps make the game more better. Single player mode is not called "background", but we put icons to help people figure out what kind of icons are. The player circle shrink because of the green dots you collect. Red dots makes your lives go down, every second you survive, you earn a second. Yellow dots will make you bigger for collecting them. The lightning backdrop is not cropped wrong or either placed improperly. We do not know why the game itself is lacking, but we will try our best to get it better. We might think about making from dots to tiny squares to make it easier to see which one you are. This game is all about circles (mainly the 1-Eyed Ball though), we only have three colors of circles because that's what we can think about, but we will have more to have more boosts, and more. The touch controls may not be great though, but we are preventing cheaters from cheating the game. If you want to share your highest score with us, then comment down.
