GENERAL
------------------------------------------
Squircle is all about eating the green squares, because they give you points. Now, in order to eat the green squares, you first have to move the white circle(you) to them.
That can be a little tricky because there are a bunch of lines moving vertically and horizontally across the screen. If any one of those lines touches you, you're lose a life. (You only have three.)
Recently added is a shield. This can be used by pressing the space bar. It can be used as long as their is power in the energy bar in the sidebar. The only way to regain power is by restarting, or completely dying. When the shield is active, any lines you come in contact with will be destroyed. So it can be used as an offensive and defensive weapon.
POWERUPS
------------------------------------------
While all of the lines are moving, and you're running around chasing green squares, occasionally a Powerup will appear. There a few different Powerups and they all do something different. I'll list them below.
The pink, rhombus shaped, powerup makes the lasers move a bit slower for 10 seconds.
The cyan, upside-down triangle, powerup makes the circle(you) 3x smaller for 10 seconds.
The purple, thin rectangle shaped, powerup shrinks the lasers for 10 seconds.
The orange, hourglass shaped, powerup clears the screen of all lasers instantly.
The red, cross (+) shaped, powerup gives you one extra life instantly.
DIFFICULTY
------------------------------------------
The only difference between Easy and Hard mode, is the speed at which you gain powerups. Uber mode changes a few things to make it a little bit harder. For example, instead of gaining one point for each green square you eat, you gain 2. Consequently, four lasers, instead of the usual two appear after one is eaten. These (much more abundant) lasers move faster and are just a tiny bit longer that the normal, easy, ones. You also have get penalized for bouncing off a wall, by losing two points.
