Checking into work at Shox Biotech/Robotic Engineering Labs you discover the mutated creatures have escaped their cages and are making their way out of the building. Not 100% prepared for such a task you have only limited capture nets, but you only have to hold the tide of creatures back until reinforcements arrive (which is in approximately 10 levels). You set up a perimeter and deploy the containment protocol bot which runs around the perimeter and shoots capture nets at the creatures. You initially can only find slightly more ammo than the bot needs, but are sure you can find more and refill it as it moves from one room to another.

Shox is a game of resource management, your resources being your ammunition. Run through your nets too quickly and you’ll find yourself struggling through later rounds where higher speeds mean more frequent misses. But if you can leave yourself with enough nets in the end aiming could be unnecessary as you can, if you plan it right, simply fire off enough to cover every line. You save yourself nets by, first of all not missing and second, taking the opportunity to catch two or more with one net by spotting where they line up and netting them from the right direction. Good luck!
