Description

B0T.NET is a hacker-themed clicker / tower defense game, where you are fighting off a virus continously diving deeper into your file system. Click on the viruses to gain RAM, and use the RAM to buy towers! After each wave, choose some abilities to upgrade to make future purchases stronger, and increase your RAM income. Be wary, as shop items become more expensive the more you use them, so do your best to keep up with the incoming viruses

How to Play

Click on viruses to deal damage to them, and harvest RAM (money). When you start the game, you will notice a bunch of Virus enemies streaming down the paths on the right. If they enter a folder, you must Click on the Folder to open it and view the viruses inside the folders to destroy them. 

Buy towers from the shop to ensure you can safely look inside a folder, in the bottom left! RAM is this game's currency, and you earn an amount of RAM passively while you play. You can gain bonus RAM by killing viruses, as their deaths free up RAM in your computer, which you can then use to purchase towers / abilities in the shop.

Between Waves, you will be able to Upgrade your towers / abilities. They're only available during wave cool-down, so spend your resources wisely in the rounds before to maximize your upgrade potential. 

Viruses get stronger each wave. Eventually, they may overwhelm you. Game Over is when you lose all your files at the bottom, so try your best to defend those as long as you can!
