About this game
[UPLINK ESTABLISHED]
"No romance here, cadet. Just raw telemetry, broken grids, and dark nodes hiding in the code. Read the lines. Find the shapes. And never guess." — Vance, Systems Handler
DARK NODE is a sparse, line-of-sight puzzle inspired by the Minesweeper formula — rebuilt from scratch for players who want to think, not flip coins.
Somewhere in every grid, dark nodes are hiding. Read the signals, trace the lines, and neutralise every node before you trigger one. No luck. No coin-flips. No dead ends.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
• No guessing, ever. Every Vector is hand-verified to be solvable by deduction alone — if you feel stuck, there's always a logical next move.
• Crossing rays, not just neighbours. Clues read down sightlines across the grid — where the rays cross is where the deduction lives. A genuinely fresh space for Minesweeper fans.
• A story-driven climb. Work through Scan Logs — from a tense qualifying Aptitude Test to archived field operations: cyber-grid blackouts, transit-system hacks, and live breaches.
• An operator's toolkit. Surge Guards, Cues, and Threat Maps help you navigate the densest Vectors — without ever breaking the no-guess promise.
FEATURES
• Over 200 hand-crafted, no-guess Vectors across multiple Scan Logs
• Clean one-thumb play — a quick minute or a long session
• A dark, CRT-soaked cyber aesthetic with original synth audio
• Fully offline. No account, no sign-up — just the grid and you
• Free
Read the grid. Trace the lines. Neutralise the nodes.
Can you clear every Vector — without a single guess?

What’s new
MAYBE MARKS — long-press now cycles neutralise → maybe → clear. Mark a hunch without committing. Toggle in Options.
ENTRY DEPTH — a DESCENT record of 24 unlocks DROP TO 12; 48 unlocks DROP TO 24. Skip the floors you already cleared.
SALVAGE — clearing a DESCENT layer now pays toolkit charges, and NERVE further down. A new record pays more than a repeat.
Fixed: results count the moment the board resolves, a restore that completes the board wins it, and TOTAL NODES is named right.
