Leahland: "This game reminds me of so many other classic games, but with its own unique style. It’s easy to pick up and play, but gets challenging pretty quickly."
walkernyranger: "First game I’ve found in a while that’s super simple, yet addictive. Great if you need to burn just a minute or two!"
rminerick: "Addictive and easy to pick up when you have a few idle minutes."
How to play:
Dodge objects to stay alive. Just tap to move to a new position.
A new object is generated every few seconds when staying in place. But every time you move, a new one is created immediately! Moving creates a black hole, absorbing everything it touches.
Time your movement wisely!
Collect shield items to gain extra protection. When you get hit, your shield gets destroyed in an explosion. This explosion will destroy every object it reaches.
Maintain control over the board by timing your movement and using your shields.
Have fun!
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is awesome, sure as a programmer we can make this. But the concept is EPIC! Smooth gameplay, multiple themes, with fun sounds. Five stars is low for this game.
We love these little games based on one clever game mechanic, polished to be super fun and easy to pick up and play. Kind of reminds us of JezzBall.
We never write reviews but we gotta say this game is fun! Its simple yet challenging, and its easy to lose yourself in saying let us try just one more time. There are plenty of different themes which we appreciate as well. We think it would be cool to have unlockable themes for beating certain times. Overall, kudos to the developer.
Challenging and minimalistic though still aesthetic, Jinks is an entertaining game where you try to survive simply by tapping the screen. Easy to pick up and play; and we like how there are different themes. Some of our favorite themes are: dark, hygiene, space, light and rainbow theme(s). We hope theres more themes in the future. Maybe unlock-able themes when you get a certain high score? Just an idea.
Addictive and easy to pick up when you have a few idle minutes.
