What Central Limit Theorem is

Central Limit Theorem is an arcade game developed by Amicable Animal and released in 2015. It is available on Linux, Mac, PC (Microsoft Windows) and Web browser.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Central Limit Theorem is a survival shooter where you have to protect your core for as long as you can from the shapes attacking it. It's a quick, simple, stressful, high-score shooter designed to be played between other, more substantial games. Each enemy starts with a unique behaviour (they can shoot, weave, or orbit) and they each leave a different coloured ink on the playfield. When another enemy crosses this ink later it will learn the behaviours of those that went before! The more ink, the more difficult the game becomes!
