The main menu has four options including Start Game, Help, More games, and Disable/Enable Game Center. You will also be subject to some wonky old-school Space Quest style music here, which can get old after a while! But I suppose that is part of the charm and fun of simplistic games such as Hit the Spot!
The Help section takes you through the tutorial of the game, which essentially tells you to tap the green spot as quickly as you can without making the smallest of errors, or else you will lose the game.
Armed with this instruction, you can tap on Start Game.

At any given time, you will only find a single green circle which you must tap as soon as you possibly can. If you wait too long, it will disappear and the game will be over.
