Overall the idea of this app is good but the game designers need to revisit the costs to build programs - in general, hacking a target is less rewarding than it costs, and building your network involves several obnoxiously long timers, obviously designed to push you to pay their premium currency to avoid. It is extremely easy to run out of resources to the point where you can't even play within the first half hour of play. Not as fun as I think the designers expected it to be.

Its a great game. I liked the overall game play of it. Except for one thing: the wait times are some times ridiculous. And I do definitely wish there was a feature that could allow the player to attack his/her network to test the security and not lose any of the programs you built to test your own security. But other than that great game.

Hi. Network admins, both real world and in-game, will need to deal with taking nodes offline. In Hackers, upgrading nodes also serves to add a potential security flaw to the networks of your hacking targets! Be sure to make the most of these upgrade timers when attacking other players, and use Building Threads to upgrade your own nodes ASAP!

Great simplistic graphics, it is a base defense clash of clans type thing. Problem: You never have enough storage space to get the good programs to hit defenses quick, because then you don't have enough programs to actually get to the core, and win. You are stuck having destroyed the enemy defenses with no choice but to surrender with no units. If you go for the long game, guess what there is a timer that makes it near impossible in the mid game to actually capture the core. Just frustrating :/

Hey Emery KJ. If you haven't already, be sure to build the extra Program Libraries that are available as you level your Core and upgrade them! Networks can have a maximum of 360 program space once fully upgraded, enough to hack even the toughest of networks!
