Trap-and-counter schemer · Advanced
the buzzing intellect
“You had the thought. I had it first.”
01 / BACKGROUND
Dr. Bram Vlieg mapped intention by watching a million fruit flies choose between light and hunger. When his laboratory was sabotaged, the emergency neural lattice saved his mind by distributing it through the colony—and rebuilt his body according to an insect’s idea of a scientist.
Flybrain enters the circuit to recover the seven stolen pieces of his original cortex. He fights with ideas that hatch, memories that strike back, and a neural appetite he barely controls; every victory returns a fact, but makes the buzzing inside the amber dome a little louder.
02 / SPECIAL ATTACKS
Inputs assume the fighter faces right. W = punch · E = kick.
Delayed three-gnat homing trap
Plant a dormant brain-egg that waits, cracks open, then releases three tiny thought-gnats that curve through the air toward the rival from different heights.
Reactive behind-the-attacker counter
Leave a psychic afterimage as bait; if a melee strike or projectile touches it during the counter window, Flybrain appears behind its author and attacks immediately.
Three-pulse tether; heals 2 per clean hit
Channel a mid-range neural tether for three pulses, stealing two health on every clean connection while remaining planted and vulnerable to a jump-in.
03 / SPRITE SHEET
33 hand-drawn poses — the same sprites the terminal renders.
