Circuit Sider
You are SIDER-7, an anomalous data entity running through an infinite cyberpunk network called the Circuit. The Guardians are hunting you.
Jump over obstacles, slide under barriers, flip gravity when things get tight, and fire your EMP when the combo meter is full.
The deeper you go, the faster the world moves and the more aggressive the Guardians become.
Every few zones you'll face one of five bosses:
each with a unique attack pattern, and then choose between two opposing upgrades that reshape how the rest of your run plays out.
Berserker or Phantom? Fortress or Overclock? Choose carefully.
