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/

Read full description

Root Access is a roguelite hacker simulator. Take on jobs from a dark web hub, slip into cover identities, and crack layered security systems — all from a terminal-styled interface that feels like the real thing. Every operation is a fresh run. Choose a difficulty, pick your cover, prep your loadout, and execute through a chain of phases: recon, acquire, sabotage, train, and hack. Your vitals - energy, stress, and heat - decay as you play, and a bad call can blow your cover and burn your alias. Build Your Hideout • Server Rack: generate intel packets over time and buy session boosters • Workshop: craft, tune, and splice your own exploit modules • Library: run passive research to discover new blueprints • Safe House: clear notoriety levels and manage your cover pool • Black Market: rotating featured modules, caches, and VIP-gated stock Master the Systems • 6 skill trees with specialization branches, prestige and respec • 250+ module codex with per-rarity craft weighting and splice modifiers • 6-level Notoriety system — higher risk, higher rewards, harsher busts • Procedural side contracts with 19 condition types • Location-based game modifiers that reshape each run Play Your Way • Roguelite runs with a living economy and long-term progression • Rank up from Script Kiddie to Shadow Architect across 50 ranks • Titles and codex milestones reward deep play • Daily login rewards, server-synced cloud saves, and rewarded ads Monetization is optional and transparent. Crypto packs, one-time bundles, and a Hacker Pro monthly subscription unlock extra slots, faster research, daily re-rolls, and boosted login rewards.
