TERMINAL HACKER is a fast-paced typing game where you break through security layers by executing system commands before the timer runs out. Stay precise, build combos, and push deeper into the mainframe before the countermeasures catch up.

What's in the prototype:

  • 4 escalating difficulty levels — commands get longer and nastier as you go
  • 3 challenge types: exact execution, fill-in-the-blank, and sudo escalation
  • Combo multiplier system — don't miss
  • 3 lives, persistent high scores, post-run stats
  • Full CRT aesthetic with scanlines, screen flicker, and phosphor glow
  • Chiptune sound effects via Web Audio

Controls: Just type. TAB for a hint (costs 25 pts). ENTER to execute.

Runs in-browser, no install needed.
