Subnet Zero

Subnet Zero is a clicker/incremental about turning that one machine into a botnet. Generate Processing Power, spend it on bots that generate more of it for you, and keep reinvesting until the next tier is affordable.

About Subnet Zero

Two versions are available.

Web Based

The web based browser playable version. A couple of things are switched off compared to the full release: achievements, and the "here's what you earned while you were away" offline-progress summary on reload. Regular saving is unaffected — the game autosaves as you go, and you can manually save, export, or import a save from the Save panel any time.

The core loop — bots, upgrades, research, contracts, recompiling — is fully playable, but it's the first slice of a bigger game; more resource tiers, bot classes, and late-game systems are still being built out.

Full Version (Windows Install) - PAID

You can download the full version of the game for $1.99 and become a supporter of the game. You will get your name added to the in-game credits and if the game ends up on Steam, a free Steam key for the game. The full version includes the offline earning, achievements and will likely get more features added ahead of the web version. For example this build contains earning Crypto and the start of a terminal.

What you're doing

• Deploy bots. Script Kiddies, Trojan Workers, Worm Swarms, and Relay Nodes each turn one resource into the next, so you're building a production chain, not just one number going up.
• Level up the upgrade tree. 23 nodes across eight branches — click power, botnet growth, malware engineering, worm propagation, network infrastructure, credential exploitation, web exploitation, and a couple of capstones that boost everything at once. Every node goes from level 0 to 100, so there's always a next purchase.
• Research. Burn time (not just resources) to unlock Auto-Deploy, Auto-Research, and Auto-Upgrade, so the run keeps advancing when you're not actively driving it, plus a handful of cost-curve flattening projects for your favorite bots.
• Trigger abilities. DDoS Flood is available from the start; Packet Storm and Sustained Uplink unlock through research. All three are active, cooldown-based bursts — the payoff for having built something worth flooding a target with.
• Run contracts. A rotating job board of side gambles: spend a resource up front, wait out the timer, and hope the fail-chance roll goes your way for a real payout.
• Recompile. Once a run has earned enough lifetime Processing Power, wipe everything for a permanent production and click-power bonus, then start the next run faster than the last one.
• Skills. Learn skills (being built)
• Terminal. Use the learnt skills in the terminal (being built) *Simulated Commands

Behind all of it there's a live network visualization tied to your actual bot count. Grow the botnet and it visibly gets bigger: more nodes, longer links out from the hub, busier signal traffic.

Controls

Click the terminal (or hit Space) to generate Processing Power. Everything else is a button.
