The German indie developer and publisher ByteRockers' Games has announced that its code-based bullet heaven Net.Attack() will officially launch on Steam on March 12, 2026. The full release marks the conclusion of eight months in Early Access on the platform, during which the studio worked closely with the community to refine the experience.


Throughout this period, the game received significant improvements driven by player feedback, including a major content update featuring six new characters, more than thirty new nodes, and a complete overhaul of the tutorial. The project blends intense action with logic and strategy, offering a distinctive approach within the bullet heaven genre.


The experience delivers a unique nerdy twist by allowing players to program their own attack patterns through a visual coding interface. With over one hundred and fifty drag and drop nodes, alongside synergising optimisation picks and run defining modification drops, each playthrough can unfold in dramatically different ways.


Facing enemy hordes that grow in strength and variety, adapting strategy is not merely an option but a necessity for survival. Those who rely solely on evasive skills quickly discover that logic and planning are essential, as failing to adapt will send them straight back to the drawing board.


The launch update also introduces new playable hackers, each with a predefined style. LOLO starts with nodes that turn bugs into advantages, while JOVII favours a more extraction focused build. Even so, all characters can access other node sets during a run, opening the door to creative combinations and wildly different strategic approaches.


At launch, the game will be available in eight languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, traditional and simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. Its spirit is captured in the rallying cry "CODE OR DIE! Hack enemy systems & survive the security response by engineering lethal bullet-heaven algorithms. Your brain power determines your firepower across 150+ programming nodes. Debug your failures. Optimise your code. Complete the heist. HACK THE PLANET!", reinforcing its hacker identity and emphasis on logic and skill over luck.


Among its key features are more than one hundred and fifty programming nodes for unlimited combinations, multiple hacker characters with unique abilities, escalating regions with increasing security, varied modes such as level progression, sandbox experimentation, and daily challenges, as well as hacker ranking progression and permanent upgrades purchased through the dark market. The deterministic philosophy leaves no room for RNG excuses, highlighting that logic and mastery prevail over chance.
