CoreBreaker uses a minimalist brick-breaker setup where bouncing orbs autonomously destroy incoming enemy swarms in a corner window. You unlock new cores and expand your skill tree between waves while optionally taking manual control in fullscreen mode. It's designed for passive play during work sessions or active engagement when you want direct involvement.
About this game

I bought this game to fidget but I find myself on this game more than I do on my work :p
I highly recommend it; the inventory and levelling up system is so addicting!
This game is simple but really fun. Just leave it run in the corner. Come back. Numbers gone up. Buy stuff. Leave running. Come back and even bigger numbers waiting for you to either leave it running on its own or take control, Satisfying
