Protocol: Zero
Protocol: Zero drops you into the role of a stealthy aerial unit tasked with breaching a high-tech fortress. The action is pure arcade tension: every second counts as you weave through tight corridors lined with energy grids, rotating blades, and pulse emitters. Success hinges on sharp reflexes and quick judgment, because the path ahead is never straight and always dangerous. The game's neon-drenched aesthetic and pulsing soundtrack pull you straight into its cyberpunk world. Each run feels fresh as the tunnel layouts shift, forcing you to adapt your route on the fly. There's no room for hesitation—one wrong move sends your drone into a wall of light. It's a brutal yet rewarding loop that keeps you coming back for 'just one more try'.

How to Play
Steer your drone using the arrow keys or WASD, avoiding lasers and obstacles while flying forward. Reach the security nodes and trigger them to unlock the next section before your energy runs out.
Tips for Playing
- Keep your movements small; overcorrecting often leads to crashes.
- Watch the pattern of rotating barriers before entering a tight spot.
- Use the boost only when you have clear vision of a safe path.
- Memorize the node locations to plan your route early.
- Stay near the center of tunnels; it gives you more reaction time.
