About Singularity Rush
Singularity Rush is a bird’s-eye strategy game about the race to superintelligence. You run one of four fictional labs: the first to finish a Gen 5 training run wins, and losing your headquarters knocks you out. Each generation costs data up front, then burns compute: an economy race first.
How to play
- Your engineers start selected: two-finger tap (or right-click) a blue crystal to start mining data.
- Select an engineer, press Q and click a glowing power site to build a Datacenter. Compute is what trains your model.
- Press W to place a Research Lab, then select it and press Q to hire researchers. Each costs one talent and speeds every run up.
- Press H, then Q, to add engineers until about ten are mining.
- At 200 data your Gen 1 run starts on its own, or press Enter.
- Keep scaling: every generation needs far more compute.
Controls
- Mouse: drag selects, right-drag pans, and the wheel zooms. Trackpad: two-finger scroll pans and pinch zooms.
- Right-click (or two-finger tap) moves, mines or attacks; a label by the cursor says which. Shift queues.
- Hotkeys follow the command card’s grid by key position: QWER, ASDF, ZXCV on a US keyboard.
- On a phone, play sideways: tap a unit, then tap where it should go. Drag pans and pinch zooms.
Strategy tips
- Claim the two power sites beside your headquarters first, then contested ones near the Capitol.
- Standard pace is safe. Reckless trains 35% faster but invites incidents, and three quick ones freeze your run for 45 seconds.
- A Safety Audit freezes a reckless rival or one with a recent incident, but backfires on a lab with a clean record.
- Red teams wreck datacenters from range, so guard them with security.
Each lab has an edge: Lumen earns more from products, Keel slips less, Helix researches faster, and Vortex builds datacenters twice as fast.
