If Snake and Geometry Wars had a baby in cyber space, Core Breach would be that baby!  Take control of a trojan worm virus and slither your way out of danger whilst destroying waves of anti virus enemies trying to stop you from breaching the core!  

Upgrade your attacks frequently and be mindful of your trigger finger. Your ammunition is directly tied to the health of your Trojan Worm!


Upgrade Update is here:

  • Added slow down mechanic - Space Bar
  • Changed the body regen mechanic. You have a max amount of body pieces now which can be increased in the upgrade zone. Your entire body will regen now instead of one body piece at a time.
  • Red SDCard Buffs no longer spawn. You can now purchase them with data bits in the upgrade zone and they are persistent and permanent.
  • More Databits for stationary inactive enemies
  • Added a bunch of sounds 
  • Re did the tutorial!
  • New leaderboards, weekly and daily boards added





The full version features tougher waves, unlockable primary attacks, a larger variety of special abilities and attacks, and new challenging game modes.

Haven't played much, seems pretty good.
The tutorial is a bit confusing, we need to press L-click to continue, but you don't tell us that. Also step 5/7 shows med kits that recharge your abilities took me awhile to figure this out (a batterie or something would be much easier to understand). And lastly the tutorial text is important put it center screen not hidden in the corner. (also couldn't get boost to work)

Thanks for your feedback!  I will try to rework the tutorial a bit to help make things clearer!.. 

Strange that you couldn't get boost to work.. right click and left shift didn't work for you?

Nvm the boost does work it just isn't very noticible because theres no audio for it.

Ahh great point!  I am going to add a sound effect for boosting right now!

Thanks for playing!

What do you think about the body of the worm not taking damage.  Do you think the body should be vulnerable to the enemies?

It is not intuitive but it makes sense once you choose the primary weapon that drops bombs from the end of your tail. You need to be able to manoeuvre it between the enemies.

Alternatively you could make segments flash when they come in contact with enemies and start flashing red when they need a cool down before you lose the segment.

I noticed most of the games where I made it to the end I scored around 470k, one time I scored 894k but I can't remember what I did differently.

Thanks for playing!  To increase your score make sure you focus on collecting the data bits so your score multiplier increases!

Thanks for the other feedback!
