How it feels
A frenetic scramble where you outsmart enemies by hijacking every electronic gadget around you, relying on cleverness rather than direct firepower.

About
SOCKETEER is a frantic randomly generated top-down shooter where you play as a small robot that cannot shoot. Instead, the main character must hack into any electronic device and utilize it to survive. Take control of defense robots and blast other enemies away, crack into security door control panels and slam them shut on unsuspecting guards, circumvent data consoles and download map information to help navigate to the exit.
