Decrypt is a word game where you play as a cybersecurity program to defend against hacks (scrambled words sent to mess up your system D:). The main goal is to unscramble as many words as possible, before the word drops overflow. The word drops will be sent every 10 seconds, so be ready to decrypt them as soon as they appear!

When you reach a certain score, 2 hacks will be presented for you to choose. These are abilities that will help you defend against the attacks. But be careful, each ability also comes with a disadvantage, consider the consequences before you pick. Good luck 🙂

Controls: Use left clicks to drag letters around. Use right clicks to use ability.

- Fixed a bug where certain combination of hacks would crash the game
- Fixed a bug where words would end up stacking directly on top of each other making it difficult to keep playing
- Fixed a bug where the letter you were holding would disappear with a certain hack, not being able to solve a word.
