Shorted

YOUR DECK IS THE BOARD

Every Packet you own gets dealt onto a 9×9 grid. Trace same-color chains, bend them into shapes, and watch the score climb from hundreds to millions. Then rebuild your deck so the next grid plays even better.

TURNS ARE EVERYTHING

A straight line scores. A zigzag scores way more. Every turn in your chain pumps the multiplier, so the best move is rarely the obvious one.

HACK THE RULES

Install up to five Patches and order them like a combo. Some pile on Bits, some multiply, some bend the rules entirely. Stack them right and one chain clears the Screen.

SIX FIREWALLS STAND IN YOUR WAY

Each Stage ends with a Firewall that breaks the rules and corrupts your deck. Beat it, upgrade a shape with Firmware, keep going. Clear all six to unlock the next tier, from GUEST to ZERO-DAY, or push your build into Endless until it finally shorts out.
