    Description

    Help Chip and Chap protect the CPU from the Bad Bytes. Bad Bytes is a high-speed, vertical-scrolling puzzle game where quick thinking and spatial logic are key. Race against the clock and the rising tide of bad bytes as you frantically swap bytes to create continuous horizontal connections and zap them! Every cleared line brings points, but beware: if the pieces reach the top, it’s game over! Master the flow, build huge chains, and experience the increasing challenge with unique mechanics and addictive rhythm. This game is a reimagining of the beloved classic Gunpey
