Core Idle TD merges tower defense with incremental progression, tasking you with surviving increasingly difficult enemy waves while collecting cores that unlock permanent upgrades. Between prestige resets—which let you restart with multiplicative bonuses—you'll optimize your tower placement and abilities to push deeper into the gauntlet. Ideal for players who enjoy both the tactical positioning of tower defense and the long-term progression hooks of idle games.

Hey everyone,After months of solo development in Godot, CORE is officially live on Steam!I wanted to make a straightforward incremental tower defense that cuts straight to the chase: tons of projectiles and satisfying math scaling.Here’s what’s in the game:• The Core Loop: Spend gold mid-run on turret tiers, but save up Cores from boss waves to buy permanent upgrades in the Lab (base damage, interest rates, drop rates).• Active Skills: Emergency cooldown abilities (like time slow and attack speed bursts) to help you clutch through nasty late-game waves.• Quality of Life: Battle speed up to 5x, full offline play, and absolutely zero microtransactions.• Steam Features: 20 achievements and global wave leaderboards to see who pushes the farthest.Thanks a lot for picking up the game and supporting a solo project. Good luck holding the line!
