Description
Welcome to STARHACK, a fast-paced action puzzler in space! Hack the enemy's systems by rotating a 2x2 section of tiles. Connect a line of same-colored squares from one side of the board to the other to clear the line and score! Be careful though; while the line can turn, it cannot branch or loop. STARHACK features three game modes (including a non-timed puzzle mode and a harder variation of the normal mode), local and online highscores for each mode, and an upbeat hacker aesthetic! Tips: Puzzle Mode may be an easier introduction compared to the timed modes. You'll score exponentially higher by making longer lines. There are four "Hack Ranks" you can get: Cool Hack: length 10 or less, scores up to 1000 Sick Hack: length 11-20, scores up to 4000 Gnarly Hack: length 21-30, scores up to 10000 Epic Hack: length 31 or more. Cool Hack: length 10 or less, scores up to 1000 Sick Hack: length 11-20, scores up to 4000 Gnarly Hack: length 21-30, scores up to 10000 Epic Hack: length 31 or more. Hold A+B to make the timer count down faster
