The Big Number

The Big Number is a progression game about damaging firewalls, managing computer processes and building up permanent bonuses. You attack firewalls with clicks, automated attacks and critical hits from Security Nodes. As you advance, firewalls require millions to quintillions of damage to defeat, and each one you overcome unlocks permanent multipliers.

Attack firewalls

Manual clicks are your primary source of damage. Red, pulsing Security Nodes deal 5% of a firewall’s health instantly, while Brute Force RAM chips away at firewalls automatically over time.

Allocate your RAM

You can distribute RAM across seven processes, each with its own effect:

• Mining: increase automatic generation by up to 10x.
• Brute Force: increase automatic firewall damage by up to 4x.
• Cooling: reduce heat generation by up to 50%.
• Decryption: multiply click power by up to 5x.
• Virtualization: generate Entropy passively, up to a cap of 100 per second.
• Compression: reduce upgrade costs by up to 80%.
• Click Boost: amplify click power by up to 200%.

Prestige upgrades

When progress slows, you can reset your run to earn Entropy, a prestige currency for permanent upgrades. Each prestige grants increasing bonuses. Entropy upgrades include production multipliers such as 2x and 5x, click power amplifiers such as 3x and 10x, starting RAM bonuses, firewall damage amplifiers and offline earning boosts.

Grow crops

You plant crops that grow over time and harvest Data Points. Spend them on temporary boosts, including production and click power; unlock advanced crops with better yields; improve boost effectiveness; and expand the farm with more crop slots.
