Data Drop

Welcome recruits!

You are part of the human resistance against our AI overlords. Your job is to hack into 'The Grid' and manage the remote connection to its mainframe servers by cracking its ever-evolving encryption algorithm. 

As you hack through 200 security levels, your team gains remote access to The Grid, locates all compromising information about the resistance, downloads and deletes all copies of the dossier, installs malicious software into the enemy mainframe,  clears their tracks, and disconnects undetected... 

Unless you're bad at it. 

PRO-TIP: If you play this game like you would other 'falling-blocks' games you will never make it past Level 1. This game is not about clearing rows, it's about cracking passwords! 

Game Play:

• Direct falling blocks, like other falling block games.
• Crack encrypted passwords by filling in the missing characters.
• Clear horizontal rows to prevent the stack from overflowing and keep the connection alive.
  
• Charge up your defrag and eliminate gaps in the code.
• Clear corrupted sectors.
• Stop virus attacks before they take over the board.
• Advance through 200 security levels to complete your mission objective.
• Five-letter (admin) passwords are worth more than four-letter user passwords. 

Controls:

Desktop - Move the mouse left and right to move falling blocks. Double-click to drop. The scroll wheel cycles letter positions. Right-click rotates the block. Left-click increases fall speed. ESC Key pauses. 

Mobile - Left and Right on D-Pad position falling blocks. Up and Down on the Cycle Wheel cycles through letter positions. Down on the D-Pad increases fall speed. The rotate button rotates. The drop button drops. The pause button pauses. 

Features:

• 14 Block Shapes!
• Original rocking music.
• High-Tech 90s Aesthetic
• Digital 90s-inspired sound effects.
• Touch and Mouse Controls.
• Works on desktop and mobile.
• HTML5-based!
• 11 Always Changing Board Designs.
• Virus-infected blocks bring back PTSD feelings from 2020!
• Clear corrupted data sent to mess with you!
• Zero Calories.
• No Transfats.
• No Trenchcoat or Kung Fu required.
• A dictionary of over 7000 words. 

It's a falling-blocks game meets a finding-words game. It's addictive, difficult, and fun. Even if you are a master of other falling-blocks puzzle games, you will experience a whole new challenge with Data Drop!

Login. Hack the System. Save the Resistance. Have Fun!
