What is NULLBYTE?
A hacker idle game for Android. Crack daily ciphers, raid other players for BTC, level up your skill tree, build a crew, and ascend through prestige resets. Free to play. Ethical IAP. No loot boxes, no pay-to-win, no ads in chat.
all the featuresnine of them, in short
// 01
net intrusion
Infiltrate target IPs through procedural network maps. Stack hardware upgrades to crack harder firewalls.
// 02
PvP raids
Steal BTC from real opponents. Defend your stash with security upgrades. Climb the leaderboards.
// 03
daily cipher
A single cryptography puzzle per day. Solve without hints for streak bonuses. 30 days = legendary.
// 04
crews & alliance raids
Found or join a crew (up to 48 members). Ally with other crews for endgame State Raids.
// 05
skill tree & prestige
Spec your operative across hacking, crypto, social engineering. Prestige resets BTC for permanent multipliers.
// 06
idle progress
Earn while offline. Come back to BTC, mining rewards, missed raid alerts.
// 07
hot wallet + wear os
An auto-mining rig that ramps itself up, fills a wallet, and cashes out to your balance. Watch it -- in watch and claim from your wrist on Wear OS.
// 08
the shard machine
Rebuild the ghost fragment by fragment. Earned stubs are clean and durable; bought synthetics are powerful but noisy. Slot them for raid buffs. Mid-raid, a live flush hits -- clear the noise or eat the delay.
// 09
state raids tell a story
Every target has a codename and a crew broadcast. [SYSTEM] beats fire as the bar climbs. Clear it together -- or the whole alliance burns. Pre-raid bribes and recon run through KILO, the broker.
Free, all of it
