Procedural Generated / Roguelite
The world of Atomine is composed by levels procedurally-generated. Every level has different type of enemy and environment.
The player has to complete all levels with only one life. If Atomine is destroyed, the game is over.

Counter Hacking
During a run, the system can detect the intrusion and modify the game, so player must act quickly!
If the player fails to hijack the counter hacking maneuver, the challenge will become really tough.

Boss Battle
There are not only “small” enemies. Atomine must also defeat big and powerful bosses.
