How to play

You are the garbage collector. Sweep every stray byte out of the heap while four memory leaks chase you. Eat a yellow core and the leaks turn blue for a few seconds: catch them for 200, 400, 800 and 1600.

Each leak has its own habit. Heap chases you directly, Stack cuts you off, Cache flanks from the far side, Thread wanders off when it gets close. They take breaks every so often, so learn the rhythm. Coffee appears twice a level; an extra life at 10,000.
