Exploit

is a role-playing Flash game developed by Gregory Weir and published in December 2008.
== Gameplay ==
Each level consists of a rectangular grid with different elements (nodes) in some of the squares. The player controls orange "ports" which shoot "packets" into the grid. The different elements react to the packets in different ways.
The objective of the game is to hit one of the green "Root Nodes" in each level, though most levels have got only one Root Node. The other elements are red "Blocker Nodes", purple "Divider Nodes", yellow "Buffer Nodes", blue "Directory Nodes", cyan "Latch Nodes", white "Port Knock Keys" and lines connecting Buffer Nodes to Blocker Nodes. In each chapter, the player can use one Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS). If a chapter is to difficult, the DDOS lets them skip this level.
Apart from the story mode, there is a tutorial, a challenge mode, and a puzzle editor. Users can publish levels made with the editor. The main game (story mode) consists of three chapters, with over 50 levels. Between the levels, you get e-mails, by a character named "sk3tch" and other sources. The events of the story are set to the fictive dictatorship "Locha", Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina (Gregory Weirs hometown).
