What it is all about?

Every players controls three shapes (randomly chosen from circle, star, pentagon, square, triangle and crescent). Every one of them eats two other shapes (pictured near the bottom of every shape). If player's shape eats other shape, the player gains two points. But if player's shape is eaten, the player loses one point. Every eaten shape is replaced by a new one, randomly chosen and placed on a random position on board.

The player can steer one shape at a time. The shape can be ordered to perform successively some actions, however once the order has been given, it cannot be cancelled. By switching active shape it is possible to control all of ones shapes.

By using a teleport it is possible to rapidly move a shape to different position on board. Every teleport can be used by only one kind of shapes. Using items gives player big advantage, even if only for a little while. It is possible for a shape to have many active items at a time. Below are descriptions of effects of using various items:

Item	Effect

	Shape with shield is inedible.
	Boots increase speed of shape by 1.5.
