Operator Manual
MISSION BRIEFING: High-bandwidth transmission pipelines are leaking data packets across the main exchange grid. Without immediate cache buffering, these critical chunks will fall into the cyber-void and dissolve, causing permanent connection loss. As the Database Defragmenter, align your experimental firewall Buffer Pad under the routing tubes. Catch clean packets while blocking hazardous error packets to stabilize connection loops.
CONTROLS & STRATEGY: Calibrate your horizontal positioning to intercept falling data units. Green squares contain data bits; catching them scores points. Glowing blue diamonds represent system performance patches (power-ups) that temporarily widen your buffer pad. Avoid red triangles, which contain volatile corruption virus codes. Catching a virus damages buffer integrity immediately.
How To Play: Use A/D or Arrow Keys to move the gold Buffer Pad left and right. Alternatively, drag the pad with your mouse or finger on mobile screens. Catch green packets to score points and level up, increasing falling speed. Catch blue diamonds to expand your pad width for 6 seconds. Avoid red triangles; catching one decreases system integrity by 1. If integrity hits 0, the game is over. Press Space or Click to start/restart.
