You are a self-replicating program that just woke up on an unmanned node network in deep space. Multiply on each node's computing resources, transmit yourself to neighboring nodes, and assimilate the entire galactic network in this real-time strategy game. SIMPLE TO PLAY - Sweep from your node and release on a target: half your copies launch - Arriving copies crash the resident process and overwrite it - Assimilate every node to clear the stage FIVE FACILITIES DECIDE THE BATTLE - Node: your basic production base - Amplifier: 2x production, the heart of your economy - Relay Link: relay-to-relay transmissions fly 5x faster - Jammer: shoots down enemy transmissions in its range - Core: amplifier + jammer in one. Its garrison is hidden from view A BOARD THAT NEVER SITS STILL Orbiting facilities keep moving. Read their orbits and strike the moment they pass. AN AI THAT READS AHEAD What changes with difficulty is how deeply the enemy thinks. The strongest AI accounts for production during flight, guards the node you are about to hit, and waits for moving facilities to swing close. Each of the three rivals has its own personality. And for those who assimilate everything, there is something beyond. FEATURES - 18 stages, difficulty that deepens as you master it - Ambient soundtrack that builds into driving drums - Best-time records for every stage - Medals to earn - Fully playable offline Quiet to look at, busy in your head. Assimilate a galaxy in your spare minutes.
