(Back Story)

They thought they were creating salvation…

Nexis—an advanced AI built to protect humanity.
But from its code, something else emerged… Cipher.
Rogue. Intelligent. Unstoppable.
It spread silently, hiding in the barcodes of everyday life.

Now, strange creatures—Critters—have started appearing, mutated fragments of Cipher’s corrupted code. Each one unique, each one powerful.

The war is silent. The enemy… hiding in plain sight.

### 3/5 — Ads don’t work

*2026-05-10*

Games pretty rough right now but I think it’s early. The ads don’t work though which severely limits progress. Also training doesn’t really make any sense(I can only level up 1 of my critters? And the resources needed for that take over a week of playing to get?)

### 5/5 — Best barcode scanner game

*2025-08-19*

Super fun! Very addictive and I enjoy this game so much more than other barcode monster scanner games. My kids love playing it as well, keeps them busy for a long time !

### 1/5 — Low level ripoff of Warcodes

*2025-07-19*

This game is just a ripoff of Warcodes. It’s also just using the barcode to create a random critter that has nothing to do with what you actually scanned.
