Press release:

20 FEBRUARY 2026 | German indie developer and publisher ByteRockers’ Games announces that their code-based bullet heaven Net.Attack() will release on Steam on March 12th, 2026.

This full release concludes 8 months of Steam Early Access and brings along a huge content update containing 6 new characters, 30+ fresh nodes, and a complete rework of the tutorial.

Net.Attack() puts a unique, nerdy spin on the bullet heaven genre: players program their attack patterns in a visual coding interface. It has 150+ drag-and-drop nodes, as well as synergising optimisation picks and run-defining modification drops.

A customised approach to every challenge is not only possible but essential to your survival. The enemy hordes increase in strength and variation and will not be kind to those relying solely on their evasion skills. If you don’t adapt, you’ll swiftly be sent back to the drawing board!

The upcoming update adds new hacker characters, each with their own preset playstyle. LOLO will start out with nodes that turn bugs into features, while JOVII lends itself to a more extraction-focused build. Nonetheless, just as with the existing characters, all of them can gain access to other node sets during a run, making room for creative combinations of wildly different strategies.

At launch, the game will be playable in 8 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, traditional and simplified Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.

Net.Attack() 1.0 launches on March 12th, 2026, but the Early Access version remains available IMMEDIATELY on Steam!
