About the game
The face of a clock fills the screen, and in the middle sits a small blue block with a long dark hand that turns slowly like the minute hand of a clock. That hand is your gun. While you leave the button alone it keeps sweeping, and a tap reverses the direction; when you hold the button, it stops and fires a stream of blue shots from both of its ends.
Purple enemies cross the screen in straight lines. Every so often one of them draws a red warning line toward the centre, which gets thicker for a moment, and then fires a fast bullet along it. If that bullet hits the hand, the game is over. You shoot enemies by lining the hand up with them (the block in the middle also destroys any that touch it), and each one you take down drops a yellow coin. Picking the coins up with the hand raises the multiplier, so the best moves are the ones that reach the coins as they drift outward.
Clock Turret is one of the one-button mini-games that Kenta Cho, who works as ABA Games, makes with his crisp-game-lib library. There are no image or sound files: the graphics are drawn by the code, and the sound effects and music are generated while you play.

A few things worth knowing
The red line is a warning. It shows where the bullet will go, so move the hand out of that line or take the enemy down first.
Shoot, then sweep. The hand does not turn while you hold, so fire in short bursts and reverse to cover the other side.
Collect the coins. Each coin the hand touches raises the multiplier on the next enemy you take down.
