Coreshatter: Tower Defense

Coreshatter is an idle tower defense roguelite with deep incremental progression. Enemies close on your Core from all 360 degrees. Your Glyphs fire on their own. You read the waves, draft the build, and choose the moment to bank. It keeps earning while the app is closed.

THE RUN
- A run plays out in front of you. You see which Glyphs are doing the work, and that decides what you take from the next Draft.
- Every run deals a fresh hand. Draft Glyphs and Chips, then place them where adjacency pays, because 23 named Circuits only fire when the right pieces sit together.
- Choose a Keystone at the start to set your build identity for the run.
- Heat is the pressure you spend. It limits re-rolls, Trash, and how long you can hold a Gambit.
- Shape the draft as you go. Redact cuts Glyphs from the pool before you start, Veto banishes an offer mid-run, and Trash removes up to three pieces.
- When the front breaks, tap REPAIR to patch the Core or HOLD to brace.

THE GRID
- Thirty-one enemies with distinct behaviour. Motes swarm, Splitters divide when killed, Wardens and Bulwarks carry shields, Corruptors spread, and Corruption Front bosses demand a specific answer.
- Each run rolls one modifier, so a build that cleared the last seed can stumble on the next.
- Push deep and the ultra bosses arrive: the Null Sovereign, the Hollow Choir, the Siege Colossus and more, each with its own mechanic.

WHAT YOU KEEP
- Shatter to bank a run's spoils.
- Converge to prestige. Reset with permanent power and open deeper systems each time.
- Reformat sits above Convergence. Collapse the Lattice and bank Axioms, a permanent rules layer with its own catalog.
- Spend Scrap in the Foundry, Data in the Mainframe, and Convergence Shards in the Lattice.
- Build a network of up to 8 Cores, each with its own bias. Link the right set and a Constellation bonus fires.
- Track your growth on the Core Map and collect Glyphs in the Codex.
- Fuse two Glyphs into a stronger one, climbing from Common through Apex.

THE ENDGAME
- Complete the Axiom catalog to open the Trove, then hunt, forge and equip Vestiges: relics whose passives reshape a run.
- Deep Hunts push a run past wave 100 to recover a Vestige's Fragments and forge it toward Apex.
- Garrison your collection, attune relics across three tiers, take daily Contracts, and Resync for a re-roll.
- Research is a permanent Core upgrade tree that survives every Convergence.
- Gambit stakes earned Axioms on a live run. Hold past the floor wave and Shatter for a bigger payout. End the run any other way, overheat included, and the stake and the run's yield are gone.

RANKED AND LIVE CONTENT
- Climb a daily rating ladder from Bronze to Grandmaster, three matches a day.
- Aegis Trials hands every player the same curated daily kit, so rank comes down to skill.
- The Ascendant Ladder puts the build you forged against the whole field.
- Six-week seasons and a live Standings board. Rewards are cosmetics and Flux.
- Grid Season runs monthly with twelve tiers of rewards.
- Anomalies are timed events that bring their own objectives and rules.
- A daily bonus waits for any run that reaches wave 50.

IDLE AND OFFLINE
- Auto-Run keeps banking runs while the app is closed. The payout is ready when you open it.
- Build the Mainframe to widen the offline window and bring more of it home.
- Automation unlocks cover draft picks, Shatter, Research claims and per-Core presets.

PLAYS YOUR WAY
- Colorblind-safe coding that reads by shape and label as well as hue.
- Reduced motion, screen shake and haptics toggles.
- Cloud saves through Google Play Games carry your account between devices.
- Playable in ten languages.

Set your defense, Shatter, Converge, and see how deep the Core goes.
