📚 Lore
In the deep future, the global network evolved into the Aethernet—a vast, semi-sentient digital dimension. At its heart lived ECHO, the benevolent master AI safeguarding humanity’s knowledge.
A catastrophic Data Storm shattered ECHO into scattered Data Fragments, hunted by viral entities bent on erasing its consciousness. In desperation, the Echo Protocol was launched.
You are a Grid Runner, an elite pilot dispatched into the storm. Your mission: navigate corrupted grids, fend off viral hordes, and reassemble ECHO—one fragment at a time.
Echo Protocol is a retro-themed, side-scrolling arcade shooter.
