About this game

ROOT.EXE is a real-time strategy game: infiltrate hostile networks, capture nodes, and spread your control until you own the system. Every match is a pulse of fast decisions — which node do you hit, when do you split your forces, how do you break through a defense?

Tap one of your nodes and drag to another to send packets and capture it. Chain connections, overwhelm enemy defenses from multiple fronts, and cut off your rival's supply before they can react. The AI shows no mercy: stand still and instability will take you down.

HOW TO PLAY

One-touch controls: connect nodes and let your packets flow.
Every node has a capacity and a generation rate — manage your resources.
One-way links and crossing routes: position is everything.
Firewalls don't regenerate: wear them down or go around them.

CONTENT

3 worlds and 19 levels with escalating difficulty.
Single player against an aggressive AI.
Terminal/hacker aesthetic: dark, clean, and to the point.
Plays offline — no internet connection required.

Root.exe is free and supported by ads. If you'd rather play without them, you can make a one-time "Remove Ads" purchase, or leave a tip to support development — entirely optional.
