// MEET ALPHA

Small hero, enormous swarm

Alpha is the player-facing heart of the run: a brave little hacker wrapped in neon, steering friendly nodes through hostile logic. Every gate is a promise to the swarm: more bodies, sharper power, or just enough defense to survive the next boss.

  • Signal Readable at swarm scale
  • Vibe Cute tech-noir, not grim
  • Promise Every dodge protects someone

// FEATURES

What's in the build

  • Living swarm

    Up to thousands of nodes shifting between Vector, Orbital and Cloud formations as the run grows.

  • Gate logic

    Pick offensive, defensive, or specialist gates. Build a swarm that fits how you want to fight.

  • Seven bosses

    From the Firewall to the Kernel Heart, each boss asks one specific skill question.

  • Adaptive difficulty

    Threat metering and force-spawned safety valves keep runs tense without becoming unfair.

  • Tech-noir style

    Neon-minimal palettes, micro-animations, particle FX. Cute, not grim, and readable at swarm scale.

  • Mobile-first, web-friendly

    Built in Flutter and Flame. Ships on Android and iOS, with a Web demo and macOS for screenshots.
