Neon Surge ⚡

Survive the code. Master the explosion. Initiate system reboot.

Welcome to the void. Neon Surge is a high-speed tactical demolition puzzle set within an unstable, tech-noir data grid. As the terminal wall rises, you must deploy specialized mining protocols to trigger explosive chain reactions and prevent the system from reaching critical mass.

Note: While fully playable on mobile devices, the speed and precision required for higher levels is best experienced in a desktop browser.

🎮 How to Play

• Drag & Snap: Position your shape using mouse or touch.
• Execution: Release to stamp the shape onto the grid.
• Prevent Breach: If the neon wall reaches the top of the terminal, the surge is complete and the system fails. ⚠️

✨ System Components

The grid is populated with specialized data segments requiring distinct tactical approaches:

• 🔴 Volatile Units: Impacting these triggers a 3x3 explosive chain reaction. 💣
• 🛡️ Armored Segments: Reinforced blocks that require two hits to clear.
• ❄️ Cryo Units: Neutralizing these activates Surge Protection, freezing grid growth for 5 seconds.
• 👾 Glitch Blocks: Unstable data that teleports to adjacent open spaces every few seconds.
• ❎ Dud Signals: Watch for Red blocks in your shape. If a Dud hits an enemy, it repairs and reinforces them with armor.

🔥 Power Overlays

Occasionally, you will receive Green shapes that initiate high-energy laser protocols:

• Directional Lasers: Clear entire horizontal or vertical lanes in a single high-frequency pulse.
• The Green Cross: A dual-axis blast that clears its entire row and column simultaneously.
• Tactical Clipping: You can position shapes partially outside the grid boundaries to drop "Duds" harmlessly off-screen while keeping your lasers on target, or to remove those otherwise hard-to-reach blocks in the corners.

🏆 Choose Your Protocol

• 🌊 Surge Mode: Real-time survival. The wall rises continuously. Intensity increases as the system levels up.
• 🧘 Zen Mode: A calculated challenge. The wall only rises after a set number of moves. Use this for precision and long-term strategy.

📱 Interface Optimization

• Mobile Protocol: Uses relative touch tracking—drag anywhere on screen to move the piece without your finger blocking the view.
• Desktop Protocol: Direct crosshair snapping for high-precision mouse input.
• Audio: 100% synthetic real-time audio. Enabled sound is recommended to monitor system warnings and level transitions.
