HaCKaH is a Tetris clone. The game put's you (the hacker) against the worlds most advanced computer system.

The Blue bar is the power bar for the 2nd Next Block display. The bar is obstructed at some levels by power relays.

Complete a row at the level of the obstruction to clear it. If all obstructions are cleared, the 2nd next block display will turn on.

The Red bar has displays your current level progress. When it reaches the top you've completed the level.

Currently the game will speed up after every 250 points.
