There's a hint in how to play the game here, for, like the spaceship moving through the ever shifting asteroid field, in order to say alive you do have to keep on the run. There's also the Fireflurry, which is the only creature to outrun John Gore. When shot, the Giant Furry splits into the Furry, which in turn fragments into mini-Furries. These shadowy fellows come in four types, which like Russian dolls are nested. In the case of Minigore, that dot is square-headed action figure John Gore, who, armed with his infinite ammo machine gun, roams around the beautifully rendered game, eternally pursued by waves of furry furries. You move around a dot while things that would do harm try to collide with it. It's easy to see Minigore as a descendent of the original video game Asteroids.
Boil things right down and there's a finite set of foundations from which to build your own ideas. Literature professors tell us only seven plots are available to novelists, and it's much the same in any creative endeavour.
