Bad Sector

System Failure Imminent

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

SYSTEM FAILURE IMMINENT... Bad Sector is an unforgiving love letter to analog technology and hardcore arcade survival. You are a rogue pixel in a dying CRT monitor. Your mission is simple: Collect HERTZ to keep the signal alive. Avoid the corruption. Survive the scanline. FEATURES: • ANALOG HORROR AESTHETIC: Authentic CRT shaders, scanlines, and chromatic aberration effects. • UNFORGIVING GAMEPLAY: One hit kills. The scanline never stops. • GLITCH MECHANICS: Avoid dead pixels, magnetic interference, and white noise corruption. • TACTICAL ABILITIES: Use the 'Phase' mechanic to hide in the sub-pixels, but beware—you cannot move while phasing. • SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS: Pure, skill-based survival. • HAPTIC FEEDBACK: Feel every glitch and system crash. WARNING: This game contains flashing lights and strobe effects characteristic of old CRT monitors.

Bad Sector is now Free to Play! We removed the entry price so everyone can jump into the CRT nightmare. Added non-intrusive ads to support future development without compromising the hardcore 1-life gameplay. Under-the-hood engine improvements and bug fixes.
