BitSplit

Meet BitSplit — a tiny block of data fighting to survive a brutal terminal world and claw its way to the top. A fast, one-thumb arcade game wrapped in a glitchy hacker-terminal aesthetic. Move a falling data block, line it up over the target, and slice it clean. Miss the mark and you bleed mass; run out and the system crashes. How to play Slide the block left and right until it locks above the dashed target line—it turns yellow when you're aligned. Tap DROP to slice off the lower half and land it on the target. You get up to 2 splits per block, so spend them wisely. Survive the breach • 3 difficulty levels: SECURE (easy), WARNING (medium), CRITICAL (hard) • Dodge red malware falling from above—one hit costs a life • 3 lives; don't drop data off the screen edges or deplete your mass • Blue pill: super-jump plus a moment of invulnerability—the block glows blue • Green pill: expands the current platform by 20% for an easier landing • Tight, responsive controls: joystick or arrow buttons, your choice • Haptic feedback, retro SFX, and a clean dark CRT look • Plays fully offline—no account, no ads in your face, just reflexes Think you can keep the protocol alive? Boot it up and find out. Made by IL DARK & XRVL.
