How to play VECTASLICE

Slice one bot into the rest: its red-hot halves fly on and cut everything in their path. Chain the cuts to light up the city.

Goal: Scrap-bots have stolen the city's power. Swipe through one and its two red-hot halves fly on the way you swiped, slicing every bot in their path: that is a CHAIN, and every link pays more than the last. The halves fall into the city and pile up on the roofs as scrap, and your blade throws scrap too: swipe through a falling half to bat it back up, or swipe up through a pile to throw a handful. The power you cut streams back into the skyline: light up each district before its clock runs out (the last 8 seconds count double), then pick one of three upgrades in the WORKSHOP. STEEL bots bounce your blade, so hit them with a flying piece; BOOM bots blow up their neighbours; SPLITTERS throw three pieces; GOLD adds time; and red THIEVES dive at the roofs to steal power back, so cut them before they land. Long chains charge OVERDRIVE. THE SERPENT waits in district 3, and THE HIVE in district 6: break it and the city is saved, then the next night begins. Tonight's City gives everyone the same night.
