CAMPAIGN • WAVE 1 • WORM CONTACT

Begin incident response

Survive ten escalating waves. Difficulty grows through threat combinations and attack choreography more than raw speed.

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.
