Coil

About Coil

Coil is a hypnotic reflex game where your weapon is the glowing trail that follows your cursor. Blue orbs appear around the arena and slowly swell; if one bursts before you deal with it, you lose energy. Destroy them by drawing a loop around them so your trail closes into a coil. Catch several orbs in a single loop to build a score multiplier, and keep your movement smooth, because a long, fast trail makes bigger loops possible. Red orbs are traps: enclose one and you pay a heavy energy penalty, so you have to weave around them while circling their neighbours. As time passes, more orbs arrive, some start to drift, and the arena gets crowded. On capable devices a rippling grid of light reacts to every hit. Play for the highest score before your energy runs out.
