You start by hacking into a steambot.

-Every 10 seconds, your steambot will lose some health as it attempts to fight the hack. Your health can be seen above your steambot.

-Once every 10 seconds you can shoot out a signal <spacebar/middle mouse button> that takes over another steambot. Try to hack into another steambot before the one you control dies.

-Enemy steambots will spawn and try to eliminate their infected brethren, take them out and survive as long as you can. Ditch dying steambots for new ones.

-Every steambot has an attacking <right click> and defensive <left click> power. Use them both to your advantage, experiment with the many combinations by hacking enemy steambots.
