BLACKSUN All the hacking. None of the felonies. Blacksun is a cyberpunk idle-hacker built on one pure fantasy: a virtual rig, a map full of hardened targets, and the quiet thrill of breaching every last one. It is 100% simulated. No real systems, no real networks, nothing out there gets touched. The only thing you are actually cracking is the global leaderboard. Every upgrade matters. Build your computer one component at a time (CPU, RAM, motherboard, NIC, firewall) and watch your stats compound. Equip skills across three trees. Put automated data farms to work while you sleep, then wake up richer. CORE GAMEPLAY • 10 mission tiers sprawled across an interactive network map • 5 distinct pre-mission mini-games • Module-based rig upgrades, 5 types and 5 tiers deep • 3 skill trees • Idle rewards that keep earning while the app is closed DAILY ENGAGEMENT • 7-day login streak • Daily contracts with clear, deterministic objectives • Weekly rotating bonuses COMPETITIVE • Global leaderboard PRIVACY-FIRST • No third-party analytics • No advertising SDKs • No location tracking • GDPR and CCPA compliant REQUIREMENTS • iOS 18.0 or later • iPhone and iPad Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
