Details:
The bottom left joystick is to move the player. Bottom right button is to fire in the direction the player is facing. There is a cool down time every time you shoot. The fire button is disabled(turned grey) after you fire and then turns back to green when it's ready to shoot again. (in the demo the cool down time is 2 seconds)

The blue boxes are the creatures which have a very simple AI. They move in a straight line towards wherever the player is.

When a creature gets hit by the stun bullet, it becomes stunned (indicated by the change of color to green) and stops moving. Once a creature is stunned, the player must move close to the creature in order for the teleport button to appear over the creature. The player has to tap the button in order to teleport the creature. The button will only appear when the creature is stunned and when the player is close to the creature.

The player has to move quickly because the creature is only stunned for a short while. And also the player has to use the stun gun sparingly because each hit damages the creature and too many hits will kill the creature (turns red).
