BREACH THE FIREWALLS
As you progress, powerful firewalls block your path—each requiring millions to quintillions of damage to defeat. These aren't just obstacles; they're major progression gates that unlock permanent multipliers.
Attack them through:
Manual Clicks - Your primary damage source
Security Nodes - Red pulsing critical hit nodes that deal 5% of firewall HP instantly
Brute Force RAM - Automated attacks that chip away at firewalls over time
PRESTIGE
When progress slows, reset your run to gain Entropy—a prestige currency that unlocks permanent upgrades. Each prestige grants increasing bonuses, and you can spend Entropy on powerful upgrades like:
Production multipliers (2x, 5x, and beyond)
Click power amplifiers (3x, 10x, and more)
Starting RAM bonuses
Firewall damage amplifiers
Offline earning boosts
RAM MANAGEMENT
Allocate your RAM across 7 different processes:
Mining - Boost auto-generation up to 10x
Brute Force - Auto-attack firewalls up to 4x damage
Cooling - Reduce heat generation up to 50%
Decryption - Multiply click power up to 5x
Virtualization - Generate Entropy passively (capped at 100/s)
Compression - Reduce upgrade costs up to 80%
Click Boost - Amplify click power up to 200%
FARM FOR BOOSTS
