Rate itA bullet-heaven roguelite where you program your own attacks with nodes, with a ranked Daily Challenge.
Every day: A Daily Challenge run of 20 minutes with the day's set character and a fixed selection of nodes in the shop; if you survive, the damage you dealt decides your place in the ranking. Completing it also pays bonus currency. New puzzle: Once a day; the game does not say at what hour.
Net.Attack() is a bullet-heaven roguelite in which you build your hacker's attacks out of drag-and-drop programming nodes, then watch your code fight waves of security programs in real time. Its Daily Challenge gives everyone the day's character and shop and ranks survivors by the damage they dealt. It is a paid game for Windows on Steam.
About Net.Attack() - Code or Die!
Net.Attack() - Code or Die! is made by ByteRockers' Games. It came out in Early Access on Steam in June 2025 and reached its full release on 12 March 2026. It has 13 hacker characters, more than 190 programming nodes, three regions with seven layers each and five difficulty levels.
You never aim. Instead you open a coding screen and connect nodes: triggers such as OnTick or OnKill, loops, conditions and attacks like pings, pulses and mines. Your hacker then fights on their own according to the program, while you move through the swarm and pick up what drops. Between fights you buy new nodes, and the DarkBits you extract buy permanent upgrades and new characters in the DarkMarket. The store page stresses that it is deterministic, with logic and skill beating luck.
The Daily Challenge has been there since the demo. The developers choose the character for the day, sometimes a special one on release days and events, and the shop node offers in the daily follow a fixed selection. The run lasts 20 minutes, and if you survive, the damage you caused decides your ranking. A separate 20 Minute Hack mode lets you play the same format with your own character, region and progress.
It suits players who like Vampire Survivors-style horde games but would rather tinker with a build than react, and who enjoy comparing a day's result with other players.

Tips
- Chain attacks that trigger on hit or on kill so one shot sets off several more.
- Spend a moment rereading your node graph after each purchase: one wrong connection can leave a strong node unused.
- Survival comes first, since the damage ranking only counts if you last the full 20 minutes.
