BMC CYBER ARCADE
Firewall Defender
Dodge, shoot, prioritize threats, deploy defensive controls, and watch for an occasional very unpatched bonus target.
Firewall Defender game
Controls & field guide
Controls
← → or A D move. Space fires. Esc pauses. Defense tools use 1–4 or the buttons above. Touch controls appear on smaller screens.
Campaign
Campaign score carries forward across all ten waves and Integrity resets between waves. Watch the top lane for the Unpatched Printer: it is optional, never attacks, never blocks progression, and awards a large bonus if you can hit it.
Threat progression
Worms establish the baseline. Trojans enter at Wave 3, Bot Swarms at Wave 5, and Ransomware Bombers at Wave 7. Waves 8–10 combine everything rather than simply making it much faster.
Defense tools
EDR Shield absorbs hits. IPS Burst clears projectiles and disrupts attackers. Segmentation creates a temporary barrier. Threat Intel slows hostile activity.
