MISSION BRIEF / 001

Curiosity is the
ultimate weapon.

In an imaginary dystopia, the Standardizer, a powerful AI, deemed creativity inefficient. Therefore, it commanded is its servant robots to take over the quad and destroy the Bertrand, the last bastion of creativity. You're among the few who can stop them. Your mission: survive, discover, and restore the Bucky Spirit.

SURVIVE. Move with [W/A/S/D] or arrow keys. Use [SPACE] to dash through danger. Your weapon aims and fires automatically. Waves advance every 20 seconds of combat; the Standardizer boss arrives every 10 waves. Blue Interceptors charge after marking their path. Keep moving!

LEARN. Accumulate experience and level up your skills. Every level offers a chance to declare one out of three major. Choose wisely!

RESTORE. New majors stay in your archive, even after death. Restore all 67 entries to help Bucky the Bison and Deputy Diggs protect the Bucky Spirit.

You can choose to stay and nurture the Bucky Spirit, or leave the quad and leave your academic future to machines' hearts of steel. The choice is yours. Good luck, and may the Bucky Spirit be with you!

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Declare your next major.

One choice. A new way to fight back.
