I should hate this game, but I just can't. It's incredibly addictive and 80s + Tempest wireframes + goofy hacking lingo + runner-style 'just keep dodging' gameplay is *extremely* my jam.

2/10

A hidden gem which is really fantastic. It's a pipe game, head down a pipe as fast as you can, while obstacles are thrown at you. Very simple concept but easy to mess up. This does everything right. The graphics are simple but very effective, the gameplay is spot on, the controls are tight and the soundtrack is awesome. Do you know what's even better? You're in control of your speed. 99% of the times I died, it was my fault because I didn't take my finger off the accelerator. Don't miss out on trying the 3 different camera controls which, almost uniquely, give you a completely different experience.

Game is hacking themed. Aesthetic is not mind blowing but does look very neat and clean on large full screened monitors. The protag light trail looks a little on the cheap side but it is mechanically very effective as the trail is easy to visually keep track of with peripheral vision while you contemplate obstacles. The game also has an endless mode for those who do not want to bother with the campaign stuff. You have 3 save slots so multiple people can play simultaneously without affecting each other's progress. Tutorial did a fair job of explaining the basic controls for the xbox pad and keyboard, as well as the HUD without taking too much time. The game has a fixed camera mode or you can have a camera that tumbles with the protag based on your preferences. I keep it fixed to av…

I am better than Chief at this game and that is all that matters to me! Great stuff, keep making games I can smash Chief at, 1/1, great pick out long

Surprisingly good and addictive. You run through a tunnel to 'hack' stuff while dodging or shooting obstacles and gain two types of currency to buy upgrades to improve your chances of success. It's cool.
