Shaper by spr
This game is called "Shaper" for reasons unknown. The entire development process was streamed live at twitch.tv/sorenp
It is a javascript game, which should run on all platforms, including mobile. (Except for the sound)
Good luck!

In the end I think I understood what was going on: you control the orange square. The red squares around you move to form different shapes, and you can see the next shape outlined in black. You can move the orange square to one of the red square locations.
Using this strange and unpredicatible movement mechanic, you have to try and hit the pink squares (+1), but not the green ones (-1).
It's an interesting idea but I found the shape-shifting to be too unpredictable and basically means you must not get too close to the green squares if you don't want to lose points. That being said, someone did manage to score 31 so I may be missing something.
Making it slower or maybe turn-based/puzzle oriented might be interesting.
