[unnamed radius]

"This is the end... the last stand."

— General Keros, 3789ac  

The spores have breached the dimensional veil, threatening all of humanity. You are the final line of defense. Blast them, crush them with your ship—destroy them by any means necessary! Not one spore can pass the radius. If even one does, the bomb will detonate, erasing everything in range. But what if we run out of bombs? Then it's truly over.

Gameplay:

Left/Right Arrows – change the direction of the rotation.
X – Fire your guns; hold to charge a powerful shot
Y – Hyperdash through the core, slicing through any spores.
Up/Down Arrows – Modify your orbital distance  

Enemy Types:

White Spores – Destroy them with gunfire or crash into them. The more vertexes they have, the harder they are to shoot down.
Green Spores – Resistant to gunfire; must be crushed by impact. Destroying them replenishes your bomb stockpile.
Yellow Spores – Can only be eliminated on impact. Taking them out rewards bonus score. 
Red Spores - Can temporarily increase your firepower, but are resistant to gunfire; must be crushed by impact.
Blue spores - Can temporarily increase your speed, but are resistant to gunfire; must be crushed by impact.
Pink spores - Can temporarily increase your size, but are resistant to gunfire; must be crushed by impact.

Brace yourself. Protect the radius.
