HOTFIX: Keep Prod Alive — key art

You’re on call. The servers are on fire. Keep prod alive. HOTFIX is a fast reflex arcade game for developers, SREs and anyone who has ever been paged at 3 a.m. Racks in a tiny 3D server room raise incidents; read each one and answer with the right gesture before its fuse runs out.

Every fix adds score and builds your combo. Misses and wrong taps burn your error budget. Every 10 fixes a new sprint starts: faster incidents, shorter fuses, a bigger room. When the budget hits zero you get an honest postmortem with a root cause, your rank and one tap to try again.

From sprint 3 some racks need a real fix: rotate wire tiles until power flows, block red malware packets, route cables without crossing them, swap blocks until every hash links. The same four puzzles come back as 80 handcrafted Challenge levels with up to 3 stars each, identical for everyone so you can compare with the team.
