Battle Against Hate: Your primary mission as a Hate Hunter is to shield Bitizens from the malevolent monsters plaguing the city. Such as the Toxicaters: These venomous creatures personify the corrosive nature of online hate. Engage in battles as they unleash acidic attacks. Crawlers: Swift and elusive, Crawlers navigate the city, leaving hateful marks in their wake. Beware, for they are as elusive as they are dangerous. Last Toxicater: The ultimate adversary, the Last Toxicater, awaits you at the final level, testing your skills and courage against the embodiment of hate itself.
-
Symbols of Hate - Hate Tracks: The menacing monsters spawn symbols and graffiti referred to as 'Hate Tracks' across BitCity. These symbols infect Bitizens, making them fall ill or lose consciousness.
