Kind of a clunky linear version of Super Hexagon, with (unnecessary) metaphorical weight to things.\r\n\r\nJust move the circular metaphor around, to avoid the rectangular metaphors. Use the left and right arrow keys, or the `a` and `d` keys. It gets pretty frantic, pretty fast. \r\n\r\nSlow on firefox on ubuntu, for some reason. Font size may be too small (browser zoom-in works though).
