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.

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

16 days ago
Meet the Drill Core, our newest addition to the game built for high-impact crowd control!The Drill Core phases straight through a set number of enemies before reverting to standard bouncing mechanics until it returns to you and resets. Upon hitting an enemy after its phase pass, it triggers a radius freeze. Through upgrades, you can even unlock a chance to freeze enemies in their tracks while it phases through them. Alongside the new core, we’ve also rolled out a round of progression tweaks and fresh content:New Achievements: Test out new strategies and hunt down a fresh set of Steam achievements.Global Damage Multiplier: Scale your overall DPS across all active cores.Higher XP Level Cap: Raised the max level cap for the XP Multiplier so you can stack kill-XP much higher.Dynamic Wave Scaling: Backend XP thresholds now scale down as waves increase, helping you level up faster during deep runs.Jump back into the swarm, test out the Drill Core, and let us know your thoughts and suggestions on Discord (https://discord.gg/gsCTgbRtN9)
