Glitches are hiding in the dark. Find the glitch before the glitch finds you!
🐾 Move with WASD or the arrow keys.
🔴 Real glitches leave a trail of red static behind them. Follow it!
📡 SPACE = Scan. It shows where every glitch is for a moment, but glitches close by hear it and come after you.
🔧 Get close and hold E to patch a glitch. Patch every real glitch to win the sector.
👀 If a glitch sees you, it hunts you. If it touches you, the system is corrupted and you lose.
⚠ The GLITCH SEARCH bar fills up as time passes. At 100% the glitch has found you, and every glitch hunts you at full speed.
👻 Later sectors have fake glitches. They look real but leave no trail. Scans show them in grey.
🧱 F drops a firewall (buy them in the shop). Glitches can't go through it for 6 seconds.
📦 Beat 2 sectors to unlock the MB. From sector 3 on, GB chips are hidden in the dark. Find ALL of them in a sector to keep them, then power up your MB with them. A big MB (8 MB or more) can be put inside TB Storage, and then every stored artifact makes 1 byte every 10 minutes, even while you're away!
ƒ Function (unlocks with TB Storage): put an artifact in and it gets shot right back out, drained (no bonus, no coins, worth almost nothing). In return you get coins plus items: firewalls, freezes (Q freezes every glitch for 4s), shields (save you once from a glitch), free upgrades, and even skins and menu screens!
🎮 Control is hidden deep inside sector 10. Grab it and beat the sector to keep it. In a sector, press C to take over the nearest glitch you can see. For 10 seconds (watch the time meter!) you steer it with the arrow keys, and if you crash it into another glitch, that glitch gets destroyed. Your cat stands still while you do this, so be careful! Control breaks after 10 glitches.
🔹 Buy a Kilobyte (5 bytes) in TB Storage to put located files in Drive A, C and D. Click a file to load it (about 6 min 32 s, you can leave and play while it loads). When it dings, you get a 🛡️ Terra Shield: press T and terabytes destroy the nearest glitch instantly. It also fires by itself if a glitch touches you. One use each. BUT it messes with time: ① if it kills a FAKE, every fake becomes REAL for 30 minutes; ② a GB chip grabbed after using it this round turns into Useless Information; ③ NEVER use a firewall after it in the same round, because the firewall gets destroyed!
📁 File Room (unlocks with TB Storage): drag each file into the right folder before it breaks. A broken file lets out a glitch that chases your paw, and if it catches you, you lose! Clear the room to collect 290 coins.
💾 Beat 3 sectors to unlock TB Storage. After that, patched glitches sometimes drop artifacts. Make storage drives and put your artifacts inside. Every stored artifact makes you earn more bytes!
🦠 Boss: The Virus lives in sectors 5, 10 and 15. It's too big to patch in one go, so you have to patch it 3 times. Every time you patch it, it gets angrier: it splits into mini glitches, turns off the lights, or scrambles your controls (everything goes backwards!). Beat it for a legendary artifact and the Virus Cat skin.
📅 Daily Corrupted Sector (unlocks after 3 sectors): a new sector every day with one weird corruption rule. You only get ONE try per day! Win days in a row to build a 🔥 streak for more bytes. A 5-day streak unlocks a secret menu screen.
🪙 Win sectors to earn bytes. Spend them in the shop on skins, menu screens and upgrades.
