Sentry Duty

You are the sentry meerkat on the rock. The mob forages below. Hawks dive from the sky, snakes slither in from the sides. Bark at the right moment, in the right direction, and you drive them off. Miss one and a meerkat gets eaten.

Controls: ← → bark at snakes from that side, ↑ barks at hawks. SPACE starts. On touch, tap the left, middle or right third of the screen. M mutes.

The catch: bark at nothing, or the wrong way, and the whole mob freezes and you can’t bark for two seconds. Harmless tumbleweeds with a yellow “?” ring roll past. Ignore them. Barking at them is a false alarm.

Score big: bark as the red ring touches the gold one for a CLOSE! bonus. String repels into streaks, and every eighth earns a shield.
