Descriptions (ready to use)
One line
Let real traffic in and stop only the attacks: place devices, write rules, and defend a company network.
Short description (intros and social posts)
Packet Gate is an iPad puzzle game where you place firewalls, load balancers, WAFs and DLP devices on the line and write "condition → action" rules to defend a company network. Block too much and real customers suffer; let too much through and data leaks. Build the right gate within device capacity and budget. The first 18 stages are free.
Long description
Packet Gate is a puzzle game about building the gate between the internet and a company's servers. Place devices, wire them up and write rules. When the shift starts, customers and attackers arrive together.
Block a real customer and it is a false positive. Let an attack through and you get an intrusion or a data leak. Every device has a capacity, and when it jams, waiting customers give up. Within your budget and running costs, decide what goes where and how to tell traffic apart.
The campaign has a prologue and five chapters, 36 stages in all. From firewall basics to DNS abuse, remote-work back doors, outbound leaks and hijacked office PCs, you gradually pick up the ideas real network defenders use. Replays let you go back through a failed shift and see exactly what got through.
After the campaign there is Ops Lab, where stages return under new conditions, Back-to-back Operations, where you defend for several days in a row, and Endless Duty, where you keep your setup and see how long you last. The prologue and Chapters 1–2 are free; a single purchase unlocks Chapters 3–5 and every post-game mode. There are no ads.
Key features
- Defend by writing rules: "block anything that is not port 80 or 443" — rules are checked top to bottom and the first match decides, just like real firewalls and ACLs
- Not too strict, not too loose: balance false positives, device capacity, budget and running costs
- A five-chapter campaign: new attacks and devices every chapter; budget and equipment carry over day to day
- Replays: rewind a failed shift to find the cause
- Post-game modes: Ops Lab, Special Drills, Back-to-back Operations; in Endless Duty attackers adapt to how you defend
- Accessibility: touch controls (press and hold for details, two fingers to zoom and pan), keyboard support, text size, color vision and reduced motion options
