Canary Protocol is a modern take on classic line-drawing territory capture arcade games. Extend containment fences through unsecured space, reconnect them to secure new sections of the chamber, and contain the creatures inside without letting them reach your live wire.

The longer your exposed fence becomes, the greater the risk. Different creatures react to your actions in different ways, with some drawn toward active wires and others able to threaten them from a distance or create additional hazards. Even completed containment lines aren't completely safe, with dangerous Joltz racing along the energized fences.

How you secure the chamber matters. Large, risky captures are worth more than slowly taking the same amount of territory in smaller pieces, with additional points awarded for containing creatures and their offspring. Powerups can boost your speed, increase the value of your next capture, and give you new opportunities to push for a higher score.

 As containment continues, the challenge builds through new hazards, shifting creature combinations, and increasingly difficult chambers, pushing you to balance speed, safety, and score.
