About this game
Coreward is an incremental game where you resist waves of enemies by rotating your shields.
FIGHT
Rotate your shields quickly to cover all angles, while you try to pick up the debris left by the enemies you destroy.
UPGRADE
Improve yourself using the debris of the enemies you've destroyed. Widen your shields so they cover more ground, improve your core so it lasts longer, accelerate your debris collection... There's so many ways to get ahead!
Explore an ever-expanding upgrade tree and discover exciting new tools to defend your core.
DESTROY
Use your upgrades to destroy more and more powerful enemies, and combine them for maximum effectiveness!
Coreward will test your tactical thinking and your multitasking abilities, while providing that sweet sweet dopamine burst of unlocking new upgrades and becoming more powerful. Are you ready to give it a spin?
