How it feels

A retro-styled arcade shooter that feels like a fast-paced cyberspace intrusion with randomized levels and simple risk-reward mechanics from data cells.

What players say

Players describe WireNet as a minimalist retro shooter with green-on-black vector graphics and no music. The 4-directional shooting frustrates some, while others find the challenge appealing. Multiple reviews report a game-breaking bug on the second level's boss, and the lack of save progress forces restarts.
