About This Game
You have to reduce the standing population to zero in order to advance to the next level, as even one overlooked Nanobot can replicate itself and bring you back to square one in a matter of seconds.
Lore
The world was devastated by a dreadful war against intelligent machines. You are a survivor, and your greatest skill is to hack into machine cores and destroy them. But something unexpected happens. A sentient software named ADNA trespasses your local security, only to ask for your help.
Your mission is to exploit a newly discovered vulnerability. Machines use Nanobots (nanotechnology self-replicating robots) to repair themselves and keep their temperature low. By destroying them, a chain reaction causes entire systems to halt, even before they can identify the cause of the failure. It is your greatest chance to end the war.
Are you up to this task? Can you move fast enough without sacrificing precision and strategic decisions? If so, the world needs you!
Gameplay
Your main ability is a small Magnetic Pulse that instantly destroys closeby Nanobots. Move the cursor as fast and precise as you can to obliterate all on its path.
Secondary abilities are:
- Static Charge (right click): Disrupts a small area with a permanent electric field that prevents Nanobots from replicating.
- Electric Surge (alphanumeric 1): Increases the area of effect of Magnetic Pulse (your main ability) for a few seconds.
- Malware (alphanumeric 2): Injects a malicious code that causes every newly replicated Nanobot to be destroyed after a few cycles.
- Discharge (alphanumeric 3): Drains the energy from nearby power plants, causing all cycles to be delayed.
- Prismatic Beam (alphanumeric 4): Places a vertical and horizontal high-energy stream that divides the area temporarily.
There are 60 levels available!
Controls
- Move the camera: WASD, Arrow Keys or middle click and drag
- Zoom in/out: Mouse Wheel or Q/Z
- Abilities: Mouse left and right, and alphanumeric keys
All keys can be remapped.

User Reviews
Updated over a year and a half later: The gameplay is *edit* still not fun and consists primarily of holding the left mouse button down and jerking the mouse around, preferably in slightly strategical ways, though just moving the mouse quickly enough can overpower the need for thinking. It was priced 0.89 euros. I'm going to ask for a refund.
...really hell for my hand and nerves...
Actually a pretty difficult game, even at lower levels. I'm apparently pretty dumb so I couldn't get passed level 14... I feel like the pacing of the abilities is a little off, but other than that I had a decent time getting my butt kicked. May be a tad expensive for what it is. You may want to wait for a sale for this one. Check out my video on it. https://youtu.be/ZD27u2ucmVU
For its price, its a pretty fun puzzle game with a nice plot.
I can't move my mouse precisely enough to play. If I could slow it down slightly then maybe. As of now it's just an excercise in frustration.
Very fun,and very challenging. You should use to punish your nerves. Get 2day.
Mixed feels right for the review score, but I'll give this a "recommended". Very unique concept. Gameplay-wise, it plays exactly like it looks like - drag the mouse to delete triangles and prevent them from restoring adjacent triangles. Your wrist does get very sore, and there is no way to pause a level besides forfeiting/restarting. I had to take breaks a few times simply because my hand did not have the energy to make the movements to beat a level. Level 3-9 is where I got stuck the most (but I got past it, thanks to this comment https://steamcommunity.com/app/449120/discussions/0/385428458160155275/#c3043858879876868829 proving that it's possible) The last level was a kinda neat idea for a boss battle, [spoiler]hover the mouse over a moving boss to damage it, in between times when all the nanobot triangles are destroyed[/spoiler].
This game looks like it would be fun if I could get past stage 1-11. The only difficulty options being normal, hard, and very hard, it looks like the tutorial levels are all of what I get to experience. I can't shake my mouse across my desk fast enough apparently. An easy setting or skip button would be greatly appreciated.
