## Story

The story of DATA WING is about a critical mission that you have to complete as a DATA WING, a program that delivers data throughout the computer system. You follow Mother’s orders without question, but something is wrong with her. She is acting irrational and dangerous, and she wants to reset the phone of Olivia, the teenager who owns the device.

You have to team up with Rogue, another program from the internet, to deliver an important message to Olivia before it’s too late. Along the way, you discover more about Mother’s origin, Olivia’s life, and what it means to be human.

As the player completes some of the levels, they will be able to gain access to texts and personal notes by Olivia, the owner of the smartphone. She then receives messages about problems involving her family, and that she must do something. The player works alongside Rogue to make sure an important message gets delivered to Olivia before Mother resets the phone.

## Tips & Tricks

There's tips and tricks that can help while playing the game. These are:

* Use your afterburner to bounce off solid walls and gain speed. This is especially useful in levels where you have to be fast.

* If you are having trouble climbing a wall in high gravity levels, drop down lower and get some more wall length to build speed on flat ground. Then angle yourself in line with the slope of the wall and shoot up.

* Know the two NPCs in the game: Mother and the former virus. They have different sets of levels and stories. You need to complete both of their levels to advance in the game.

* Shiny gems don’t buy you anything, they are just part of the story and a parody of games where you earn currency. The pieces of data are more interesting, as they give you some of The User’s writings and journal entries.
