Protect the neuron nodes.
The goal of the game is to protect the nodes. Once a spark reaches a node, the node will glow. Press down on the node as it glows. This will dissipate the spark. If you fail to press down in time, the node becomes damaged and spreads sparks to its connectors. Once the node becomes damaged three times, the node will turn red and no longer has the ability to keep sparks from spreading.
