Don't let your countdown hit zero before the boss' does!
Through applying sequences of numbers, operations, and other mechanics, you must learn how to quickly tank down the boss' countdown - or extend your own countdown - so that your countdown outlasts the other.
As you go through more levels, you'll be introduced to more mechanics - multipliers, dividers, decayers, mini enemies, and changing boundaries!
Please go into full screen for the best experience possible :)
Please read the tutorials below for further clarification:

Equip numbers and operations into your inventory! These symbols will float along with you.

Choose a symbol to lock onto! This will allow you to absorb or shoot the number later.

Once a symbol has been selected, absorb them in order to apply their affects onto you!

If there are multiple symbols near you, choose which symbol you want to add to your inventory!

Once a symbol has been locked onto, you can shoot it outwards to apply its affects from a long distance away!

Apply numbers to yourself and enemies to change countdowns!
