CYBER CONTROL 2020

GMTK 2020 Jam Entry

How to play:

• Defend your central server from cyber attacks.
• Attackers will make routes from their remote servers (angry computers) to your central server.
• Move friendly computers into position along the routes to neutralise the attacks.
  
  • Select computers by clicking and dragging the selection box around them, then click and drag to fling them in a general direction.
• Friendly computers will defend against the route they are closest to.
  • The closer a friendly computer is to a route, the more damage it will defend against.
• Each round is split up into multiple phases.
  • The first phase is the Setup phase (green timer). During the setup phase, you can move friendly computers into position.
  • After the Setup phase, the Attack phase begins (red timer) where Attackers deal damage along their routes.
  • After the Attack phase, the Breakpoint phase behind (orange timer). During this phase, Attackers may change their attacking routes and you are able to move friendly computers into new positions.
  • Attack and Breakpoint phases will alternate until the end of the round.
• Health is recovered at the end of each round.

Tips:

• Get familiar with flinging your computers, precision is important!
• Most Attackers can be perfectly defended against with at least 3 friendly computers, but you may need to manage your resources.
• Computers indicate which route they are defending during the Attack phase.
• Route colors during the Attack phase indicate how much damage is reaching the central server. Red is bad!
