KEEP THIS HANDY
Controls at a glance.
- W / A / S / D or arrows
- Move the player.
- Mouse position + mouse button
- Aim and fire.
- Opening terminal prompt
- Read the instructions before initiating deployment.
Movement and shooting are separate tasks
The source maps WASD to the same directional inputs as the arrows and tracks mouse position independently. That lets you move away from a threat while aiming elsewhere. Begin by learning that relationship in a clear area. A pointer-only setup cannot replace the documented movement controls.
Keep the briefing’s objective in view
The opening terminal requests manual reboots of offline systems. The game tracks total and rebooted CPUs. Read that status while exploring, rather than assuming that surviving in one room will advance the stage. This note does not reveal an exact route through the levels or claim completion of the objective.
A small download still needs graphics support
The project’s competition constraint concerned its compressed size. It still renders through WebGL and synthesizes audio. A terminal screen loading successfully is a narrower observation than a working rendered combat scene. Use the game’s original host and report the exact stage where a graphics or loading failure occurs.
What happens to your progress?
The reviewed game source does not establish persistent campaign export. Treat it as a continuous session.

Can I play with a mouse alone?
The documented controls combine directional keys with mouse aiming and firing.
Is this a port of a commercial shooter?
It is an original browser game made for the 2018 js13k competition.
