BitVault

A logic game in which we can feel like an experienced hacker in a small organization, hacking into other people's security systems or on the contrary prevent cyber-attacks. Our main task is to analyze all sorts of servers for vulnerabilities and crack unstable security nodes with special programs. The game will please you with its futuristic visual style and unusual sound accompaniment.

Playing as a professional hacker, you have to hack into various devices. BitVault is a good game, the puzzles here are interesting and not the easiest. I recommend it.

peg solitaire (jump over things and reach the exit) with some story and a hacking coat of paint. lots of fitting lingo, instant and almost silent text, one beep per textbox. can choose story or only puzzles mode and a male or female avatar, but no player profiles, starting a new game erases the save. 60 levels in 5 packs. solve one stage to unlock 3 more, do them all for the next pack. [b]way too restrictive, 8 of 12 should open the next one.[/b] there's a guide (single-screen what's what), an interactive tutorial for every pack and their new mechanic, dialog can be rewatched as well. no level numbers outside level select, level names only appear on top for a few seconds when a level starts and on level complete, which has next level, retry and level select as options. the root key has to reach the exit (root), but any subroutine can be selected and potentially moved to clear/make way. data cubes are optional. 3 per level, one for finishing (very much not optional thanks to the strict unlock system), one somewhere on the grid, and another appears when only one subroutine is left, so gotta clear everything for a perfect solution. I already found it too tedious during the first pack and completely ignored it after, but my patience and brainpower aren't what they used to be (and they were never much to begin with). failsafes are introduced in pack 2. stepping on one activates it, doing so again resets the level. no timing or anything, still kinda annoying. titan subroutines have to be jumped over twice to clear and there are ice subroutines but I didn't get that far. [b]controls are mouse-based with a few hotkeys[/b], even though keyboard movement and selection, both in the menu and on levels, would be trivial. things don't get deselected after a move, so can just click-click-click to move the same thing multiple times. esc for the pause menu, 'r' resets, 'u' is [b]unlimited undo[/b], the end. undo, whose button doubles as a move counter, was initially 3-step only, but such madness got patched out within days after release. graphics are fine, music's pretty good if repetitive, with a single track for each pack. separate volumes, resolutions, windowed mode and a move hints toggle are the only settings, available anytime. move hint just shows available options for the selected thing, not an actual hint system. could use a bit more quality of life, $12 is crazy, and they might as well not have bothered with the story, but even though I didn't get far, it would be good enough otherwise if you like the core mechanic. except [b]later levels are extremely buggy[/b]. I threw in the towel near the end of the 3rd pack because [b]levels kept breaking[/b]. I could jump back and forth over empty tiles because the game kept thinking there was something there, but couldn't move over a subroutine or whatever that was actually there. my guess is they ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up undo big time. the developers said it takes 20-60 hours to perfect the whole thing. quite a range but puzzle difficulty is very subjective and if you get stuck on a few levels for a couple hours, it adds up. very few people completed even the second set of levels though. still, I'm pretty sure [b]10-15 hours would be a more realistic expectation if the game wasn't a broken mess[/b]. and anybody who makes a noisy company logo should be slapped hard. especially if clicking doesn't skip it, have to press a key in a game that almost exclusively uses the mouse.

Play the role of a seasoned hacker, use your wits and ingenuity Seize success in an information technology security company. Hack systems and computers, finding weaknesses in the code protection.

A good hacker puzzle. At first it seemed simple to me, but the complexity grew and it became interesting. It's playable and I also liked the style.

Becoming an expert hacker through raw brainpower is not a legitimate or ethical approach. Engaging in hacking activities without proper authorization is illegal and can lead to severe consequences. It's important to pursue a career in cybersecurity or ethical hacking by following legal and ethical paths. To excel in a cybersecurity company, focus on acquiring knowledge and skills through proper education, training, and certification programs. Here are some steps to enhance your career in cybersecurity: 1. Education: Start by obtaining a formal education in computer science, information technology, or a related field. A solid foundation in programming, networking, and systems administration will be crucial. 2. Certifications: Consider acquiring industry-recognized certifications like Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), or Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP). These certifications demonstrate expertise and knowledge in the field. 3. Continuous Learning: The field of cybersecurity is constantly evolving, so it's essential to stay updated with the latest trends, techniques, and vulnerabilities. Keep learning through online resources, attending workshops, and participating in CTF (Capture the Flag) competitions. 4. Practical Experience: Gain hands-on experience by taking up internships, participating in bug bounty programs, or working on personal projects. Practical exposure will provide real-world scenarios to enhance your skills. 5. Networking: Connect with professionals in the field by attending industry events, conferences, and joining online communities or forums. Networking can help you learn from experienced individuals and open doors to potential job opportunities. 6. Ethical Hacking: If you aspire to become an ethical hacker, focus on legal and authorized penetration testing. Develop skills in vulnerability assessment, network security, secure coding practices, and secure system design. Remember, hacking without permission is illegal and unethical. Working ethically and responsibly is crucial to protect individuals, organizations, and our digital ecosystem.

A completely worthy, interesting, unusual and hardcore puzzle for true experts in thinking and logic. Study the computer network and security system thoroughly in order to hack it flawlessly. With each new level it will become more and more difficult. The price is high, it’s worth taking at a discount. An expert in the field of cybersecurity, studying the weak points of computer systems and hacking increasingly complex and advanced security systems. The game is nicely designed and will not let you get bored.

This is an interesting hacker-themed puzzle where you have to solve tasks of varying degrees of difficulty. The game looks nice, has convenient controls and good music. The gameplay is very addicting, in places very tight and makes you strain your brains.

Let's start with the almost-immediately-obvious: BitVault is NOT a hacking game. It's a puzzle game with a story about hacking, with a protagonist working for a cybersecurity company. The puzzles themselves are based on marble solitaire, with additional gameplay elements added every 12 levels. The visuals are minimalistic but fit the theme of the game very well, the soundtrack is pretty good, and the story is... well, let's not talk about the story. However, the important factor are the puzzles. And the puzzles are rather good. Getting to the basic objective (moving the root key to its destination) is usually not too brain-wracking, although there are a few levels which took a while to figure out. Then the first optional objective (the green cube) often makes the solution harder to find, but still, I completed the 48 levels in about 7 hours, and there were only a handful where I didn't get these cubes. However, there's a second optional objective to each level (clearing up the entire board), and that's often quite devious, especially after the first level set. I raise my hat to the creators - coming up with such tough puzzles in their first game is quite an achievement. Very much recommended for puzzle lovers.
