## What is GRID_BREAKER?

GRID_BREAKER is a fast, neon reflex game. Jack into the grid, decode the daemons before they vanish, dodge the firewalls, and chain combos into Fever as the pace climbs.

Just thumbs. Pure reaction. No filler.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Tap glowing daemons to decode them and refill your RAM clock.
• Never tap a red firewall — let it expire.
• Crack armored shells, grab gold data caches, chase hopping worms.
• Chain clean hits to trigger FEVER: hazards clear and your score doubles.
• Grab power-ups — Freeze, Overclock, Purge — for a burst of control.
• Hold a clean streak to climb a rising score multiplier.

FOUR MODES
• ENDLESS — survive as long as your reflexes hold and chase the high score.
• CAMPAIGN — 16 hand-tuned data cores across 4 chapters, each teaching one new mechanic and ending in a chapter boss.
• PROTOCOL — objective-driven endurance. DAEMON SETs and DMZ PURGEs with no relief and no power-ups.
• DAILY HACK — one shared board per day; everyone races the same seed.

PROGRESS & STYLE
• Earn Credits every run and spend them in the CYBERDECK on permanent upgrades — more RAM, faster decoding, a failsafe shield, longer Fever, bigger payouts.
• Unlock COSMETICS — neon palettes that recolor the whole game and tap-trail styles that follow your finger.

BUILT RIGHT
• 100% on-device. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking — nothing is collected.
• Honors Reduce Motion; independent music & effects volume.
• All sound is generated in code — tactile, rewarding, no bloat.

Crack the grid. The Monolith is waiting.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-11

CAMPAIGN 2.0 — chapters, bosses, and star mastery. 16 hand-tuned cores across 4 chapters, each teaching one mechanic and ending in a boss core. Every core now earns stars.

ENDLESS RUN MODIFIERS — stack up to 4 optional challenges before a run for more Credits. The leaderboard stays fair — modifiers boost Credits only.

DAILY STREAK — build a streak on the Daily Hack and share your result.

COSMETICS — earn-only prestige palettes, trails and an alternate app icon; live palette preview and node glyph sets in the shop.

FEEL — grid taps now fire on touch-down, so decodes feel instant.

Bug fixes and balance polish.

### 1.3 — 2026-07-14

CAMPAIGN 2.0 — now with chapters, bosses, and star mastery

The Campaign has been completely reworked:

• 4 CHAPTERS — each chapter introduces exactly one new mechanic (armored daemons, firewalls, data caches, power-ups) and gives you room to practise before the finale.
• 16 CORES — a longer, more measured ladder that ramps within each chapter rather than throwing everything at you at once.
• CHAPTER BOSSES — each chapter ends with a boss core: a brutal DAEMON SET or DMZ PURGE objective layered on top of the time-attack. Crack it and the next chapter opens.
• STAR MASTERY — every core now awards stars. Clear it for 1 star; clear it flawless OR fast for 2; flawless AND fast for 3. Pure skill, no shield bypass.

ENDLESS RUN MODIFIERS — push your limits for more Credits

Before a run you can stack up to 4 optional challenges: No Fever, Double Firewalls, Sudden Drain, or Blitz. Each makes the run harder and multiplies Credits earned. The leaderboard stays a fair like-for-like — modifiers boost Credits only.

DAILY STREAK — come back every day

Complete the Daily Hack on consecutive days to build a streak. Share your result Wordle-style and compare with friends.

FEEL — crisper taps

Grid taps now fire on touch-down instead of touch-up, so decodes feel instant the moment your finger lands.

Bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.2 — 2026-06-24

PROTOCOL — a new mode built around two alternating objectives that change the game mid-run.

DAEMON SET: a numbered chain of daemons spawns across the grid. Tap them in order — wrong order is a miss, and the set stays until you crack it. Complete the full sequence for a one-shot ×4 on your next decode; finish it during a Fever chain and that Fever runs four times as long. Sets get longer and appear faster as your score climbs.

DMZ PURGE: a hostile intrusion zone lights up in red. Every second without action, the overrun creeps — filling cells until the grid is gone. Clear every intrusion in the zone to purge it and claim a RAM bonus. The clock doesn't pause while you work.

The two objectives alternate throughout the run, layered over the normal daemon stream, with a ramp that tightens the windows as your score grows.

CODEX: a scannable in-game manual, always one tap away from the menu or the pause screen. It covers all five node types, the three power-ups, how RAM / Fever / streaks / grid growth work, what every Cyberdeck upgrade adds up to, and a summary of all four modes — so you never have to guess a rule mid-run.

iPad: the game now fills your whole screen. Grid, HUD, menus, and all chrome screens scale to the full iPad canvas — no more phone-width column centered in the middle.

Fixes: Game Center leaderboards now submit correctly in production; the Cyberdeck now shows your cumulative upgrade values ("+12s RAM buffer", "+3 mistakes absorbed") so you know exactly what you own; restart is now available from the pause menu without quitting; new players land directly on the menu with 150 starter CR and a Campaign pointer instead of a forced tutorial.
