TUTORIAL

No in game tutorial, sorry :(

• You are guarding three SPACE WHALES as they try to travel through a dangerous asteroid field infested by the evil CYBOTS.
• If all the whales survive for THREE MINUTES, you win.
• The Cybots will try to infest the whales with their chip implants. If five or more implants are active at a time on a whale, the whale will become irreversibly hijacked and leave the area.
• If all the whales are hijacked or you stay out of bounds for too long, you lose.
• You can disable active implant chips either by manually disarming them one at a time, or by using an EMP.
• Disarming the chip is a timing mini-game with three tries to get the right spot. Success on the first try will reward you with an additional EMP.
• EMPs disable chips in a wide radius and also damage Cybots, however you have a limited supply and can run out.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Sorry about the lack of music and lack of audio controls. If you can't tell, I have a bit of trouble prioritizing and keeping in scope.
• HTML5 version does not work in full screen, unfortunately. Windows version does not default to full screen, but can be changed in the settings.
• 3D sounds get louder than they should sometimes.
