Play as Sweetie as she attempts to beat her high score in her favourite online shooter game. But the wifi keeps going down in her house, and Grandma is always in the way. Stop at nothing in your mission to get better signal.

In this game you will try to double task. Play Sweetie's shooter game when your signal is strong, but when it goes down, you'll need to run to a different part of the house. If you can't get through a door, the window is just as good.

Real world controls:

- WASD: Move in the real world

- E: Interact / Swear

Game controls:

- Shift + WASD: Move in the game

- Space: Ship pulse attack

- Mouse: Change direction

Mechanics:
You have 20 health. You lose 1 point of health for every bullet that hits your ship. You can use your own bullets to protect yourself, and you can use your ship pulse attack to destroy enemies and recover health. Whilst your signal is weak, your game will lag. If you don't have strong signal, you cannot use your pulse attack. The signal is indicated by four lights on top of the console.

When you lose signal, you will see an indicator telling you which way to go. You have to navigate the house to try and reach that location. Slow-moving family members will impede your progress around the house. The Repairman will go around and fix windows you have broken, slowing your progress. Gnomes explode, ending your game (don't stay near them) and Mormons will follow you around and attempt to convert you. You can swear three times to scare them off.

That's it! Can you beat our high scores?
