Backed Up

Here is the amount of data you have
backed up so far (measured in GBs).

Data

Increase your backup by collecting these.
The size of this data is 4GB

Turn

Turn your tape using the left of right cursor keys.

Left : turn left/anti-clockwise
Right : turn right/clockwise

They are the only keys used in this game.

As you store data so your tape
length increases. One segment for each GB stored.

Virus Strain A

This type of virus will increase your tape length,
but the amount of data you have backed up will not increase.

Virus Strain B

This type of virus will temporarily increase the speed
of your tape making it more difficult to control.

I think we'll avoid this one..

The various objects don't hang around forever.
During the game there will always be at least one
object on the play area.

Compression

Collecting this will allow you to store your data on
less tape. Meaning your tape actaully gets shorter.

Don't go off the drive, or it's game over!

If you run into yourself its also game over!
