Ok, this game is pretty damn cool. Essentially you are moving around a grid collecting data. Data comes in different values, and each time you collect data you increase the threat level. Once the threat level gets high enough, you have 60 seconds to escape. Meanwhile, you have like virus protection programs running around the nodes protecting the data from hackers like you.

There are 15 levels, but each time you get caught, game over. You then start again, but you can start at any level you have unlocked. So if you want to ignore the first level, you can, but then you lose the easy $20k on that level.

So this is a high score game, meant to be replayed over and over.

Also, there are like powerups along the way also that will help defeat the enemy virus protection programs.

The maps of nodes for each level are different each time, the difference in the levels seems to be the data value available there, the types and number of virus protection against you, and the types of counter measures (and I will assume traps at some point) placed in the grid.

Really good game so far. Game Center and Achievements also.

Looks fun! I was worried it would be one of those game you have to PRETEND you know something about real hacking whereas, instead, it is just a very fun looking retro advanced Pac-Man kind of thing.
