Save the Core.**

**Matrix Meltdown** is a revolutionary fusion of tactical puzzle-solving and tower defense survival, wrapped in a high-intensity cyberpunk aesthetic.

Are you ready to transcend the traditional match-3? In this hacker simulation, the grid is a series of concentric circles. Rotate the rings, align the nodes, and link your way to victory before the viruses reach your central core.

### **REVOLUTIONARY PUZZLE MECHANICS**
Ditch the square grid. Matrix Meltdown uses a unique polar coordinate system.
* **Rotate to Align:** Swipe to spin circular rings and bring identical nodes together.
* **Link to Execute:** Connect 3 or more protocol nodes to trigger defensive actions.
* **Chain Reactions:** Create massive links or closed loops to unleash "Overload" attacks that clear the entire screen.

### **INTENSE TOWER DEFENSE SURVIVAL**
This isn't just a puzzle; it's a war for data.
* **Active Threats:** Viruses don't wait for your turn. They move in real-time toward your core.
* **Tactical Response:** Each node color serves a purpose. Use Red nodes for physical damage, Blue to slow down enemies, and Green to heal your firewall.
* **Boss Encounters:** Face off against "DDoS Floods" and "Ransomware" that lock your grid and force you to change your strategy on the fly.

### **HARDWARE UPGRADES & PROGRESSION**
Between hacks, head to the "Dark Web" to upgrade your rig.
* **Motherboard Grid:** A spatial inventory system where you fit CPU chips and RAM modules.
* **Synergy Bonuses:** Connect matching hardware types to unlock hidden passive skills and permanent attribute boosts.
* **Custom Builds:** Specialize in raw damage, cooling (slow), or resource mining.

### **GAME FEATURES:**
* **Unique Circular Grid:** A fresh take on the puzzle genre designed to beat the "clone" fatigue.
* **Glitch-Art Visuals:** Stunning shader effects including CRT scanlines, screen tearing, and code-rain particles.
* **Deep Strategy:** Managing your rotations and links is key to surviving the endless viral onslaught.
* **Offline Play:** No connection? No problem. Defend the matrix anywhere, anytime.

**The system is failing. The countdown has started.**
