Hello everyone! First of all, let me announce that the game's free demo is now available! This is the very first version. I'll be glad to receive any feedback and suggestions! Currently, the demo includes one mission. I believe it can be completed in about an hour if you complete all the tasks. Please, give it a try!

Implemented hero rank. At the beginning of the game, the rank is set to one. The maximum rank value is five. Hero rank affects the number of slots in the deck. The higher the rank, the more cartridges can be activated simultaneously.

To increase the hero rank, you need to collect chips. Chips are awarded for completing arcades. Complete an arcade - get chips. The better the arcade is completed, the more chips are awarded for it.

Added several new decorative elements to make the level look more vibrant. Broken arcade machines on the street, flower beds, lamps, and antennas on the roof.

Implemented three possible control options for the game:

1. Keyboard. Arrow keys for movement. Space - attack. Tab - deck management. "M" key - map.
   
2. Keyboard + Mouse. Movement with WASD keys, left mouse button for attack, right mouse button for deck management.
   
3. Gamepad. Movement with D-pad or Stick. Attack - "A" or right bumper. "B" - deck management. "Y" - map.

It's possible to combine all options.

Thank you!

Few days ago, my game's textures glitched out, and it switched into text mode. It looked so cool that I decided to turn this bug into a feature. If you approach the computer terminal sticking out of the floor, you can enter 'Neo-N Mode' for one minute.

In this mode:

• Bosses can't harm you in close combat - you can breeze through tough sections.
  
• Hidden passages in walls become visible.
  
• HOWEVER, you can't play mini-games, bring up the map, or interact with other interactive elements.
