I like it. I wish they'd bounce off each other too! - to incentivize getting em into the same zone.

Very Cool and quite fun to play with

How do you win a level?

I trapped the critter with painted lines but when the time expired it said I lost :-(

ninju•1h ago
Ah..you have to trap them REAL tightly and then they explode :-)

Helps to hold the button down and shake over the circle - if you don't mouseup it doesn't count as a new stroke.
LoganDark•1h ago
I just predict their path and draw a very tight circle and they explode in just one or two draws :)
hooverd•1h ago
It's easier to keep bisecting the area vs trying to draw a circle.

JezzBall was also pretty similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JezzBall

Jezzball was a TI calculator classic.

Reminds me of the Brandon Sanderson novel, The Rithmatist, where creatures are also trapped in drawn shapes.
dddddaviddddd•28m ago
Overlapping zigzags quickly trap them. Since ‘trapped’ appears to be determined by the rate of bounces, you just need to divide the area as much as possible.

Resizing the window smaller makes the game a lot simpler.
