About

Bitopic

Read full description

You are the processor. The system is about to crash. Only binary can save it. Bitopic is a fast, addictive binary puzzle game. Flip the bits, hit the exact target number and keep the machine alive. Sounds easy? Until the numbers hit 32,000, the lives start running out and a real opponent is racing you on the other side. HOW TO PLAY Every level gives you a target number. Switch bits on or off (1, 2, 4, 8, 16... all the way up to 16,384) so their sum matches the target exactly. Hit it and you move on. Go over it and the system overloads: you lose a life. Three overloads and it's game over. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY CLASSIC MODE An endless run that gets harder the longer you survive. More bits, bigger targets (up to 32,000), 3 lives and score multipliers for perfect streaks. TIME ATTACK The clock is ticking and there's zero tolerance for lag. Every correct move earns you extra time. How far can you go before it runs out? AI DUEL A benchmark against our AI. Choose Easy, Medium or Hard and race to find the right bit combination faster than the machine. Lose and you're scrap metal. MULTIPLAYER Connect with real players, race in live matches and see who keeps their cool under pressure. Invite your friends and settle it head to head.
