Crack the net by ear. A neon-noir roguelite where you echo back the tunes the security software sings.

💰 Free while in beta.

Every piece of ICE, the security software guarding the net, sings a short tune. Listen, then play the same pads back in the same order to hurt it. Then the trace comes: two beeps, and you call whether the second one was lower, the same or higher before the timer runs out.

A run is about 10 to 15 minutes. You pick a path across a map of ICE, black markets and safehouses, collect chips and scripts, and take on a boss at the end. XP goes into The Rig, a skill tree that carries over between runs.

What’s in the beta

• Three districts (Street Net, Corp Grid, Black Core). Winning one opens the next.
• Threat levels 0 to 10 for each district
• 17 ICE, including bosses with several phases
• Rules that bend what you hear: reversed phrases, stutters, decoy bells, lying lights, rushing tempos
• Plays on desktop and phone, installs as an app, works offline, saves mid-run

Known issues

• Intro banners can show up again after you resume a run.
• How to play is on the main menu but not in the pause menu.
• Black Core at threat 10 is very hard.
• The balance is still being tuned, so tell me where it feels unfair.
