not bad interesting game with realy interesting and unusual visual part, but there is one problem. on third level spheres disappear even if I lost hacking, and I can't go to the next level, what should I do?

Sorry bout that little blunder. Thanks for letting me know.

I uploaded a new version that should fix the error where node spheres disappear early if you fail the hacking minigame

I love how it looks like the matrix, minus the horrible falling script. The code is unnerving when it's down to the third and I still can't find the correct one. Haha. I wish I was better at shooting and dodging.
