## What is Brick?

CoreBreaker is a brick-breaker × roguelite game that can be played in both auto-play and manual control modes.
Break blocks, collect resources, upgrade your ball, and choose skills as you push deeper into each sector.

[Play your way]
Enjoy steady progression with auto-play, or switch to Active Mode and control the paddle yourself for a more hands-on brick-breaker experience.
Different play styles offer different ways to approach each run.

[Snowballing progression]
The deeper you go, the tougher the defenses become.
But with each upgrade, your firepower and momentum grow as well.
One of the core appeals is the satisfying feeling of gradually pushing past your limits.

[Boss battles and skill builds]
During boss phases, you fight for territory while trying to destroy the enemy’s Core Block first.
Winning earns you new skills that can significantly change your ball’s behavior and the direction of your build.

[Reboot for permanent growth]
When you hit a wall, you can reboot at any time.
Your run results are converted into Compressed Memory, which can be used for permanent upgrades in future runs.
Rebooted balls are also stored as Archives and can be summoned during battle.

[Destroy the Central Core]
Use every upgrade, skill, reboot, and archive at your disposal as you fight your way toward the Central Core waiting in the deepest layer.

### 5/5 — インフレ要素がいろいろ

*2026-07-19*

強くなる要素が色々あって飽きずに遊べた！自分は放置プレイで流し見してるのがちょうどよく楽しめたかな

### 5/5 — 意外と面白い

*2026-07-19*

いざ遊んでみると結構面白くてやり込めた！

### 3/5 — ゲーム自体は面白いが

*2026-07-01*

前触れもなくモジュールが初期化されて集め直しになった
リソースを振るためにタップしていると突然タイトルに戻ってスキルが消える
希望点としてはリソースを1ボタンでマックスまで振れるようにしてほしい

### 3/5 — これクリア？は出来るのか？

*2026-06-14*

ほぼ全てのアップグレード(モジュール等も)解放してるけど、途中のボスで即死させられるけど、大丈夫？これが普通なの？

### 5/5 — 面白いと思うけど

*2026-06-09*

色々とバランスが悪いと思う。
モジュール解放後が効率良すぎて地道にメモリーをリブートしてたのが馬鹿らしくなる。
リブートする意味が最初の方が意味がなくなるし、無駄にすると最後が邪魔になる。
裏面が重くて、すぐフリーズしてしまうのをどうにかしてほしい。
まだまだ進化途中で面白くできそう

追記
アプデによりフリーズがなくなり快適になってます。
クリア後がどこまであるのか不明だが現状クリアできる気がしない。
育てれる幅が増えてくれると嬉しい

**Developer response:** [6.5追記] ver2.1.0にてモジュールをはじめとしたバランス調整や軽量化を行いましたので、ぜひご確認下さい！

モジュールのバランス感やフリーズについて詳しく書いていただきありがとうございます。
スキルやモジュールのバランスについては見直しが必要だと感じており現在調整中です。
また、重くなる問題についても随時軽量化のアップデートを進めております。
直近メジャーアップデートを予定しておりますので、もっと面白くなるように頑張ります！

### 3/5 — バグ？

*2026-06-08*

リソースを割り振っている時にタップしているとタイトル画面によく戻る
その際に取っていたスキルやモジュールが0になる
モジュールはリスタート後でも残っているという説明と違っており意図しないステージ道中でのパワーダウンにより詰む

**Developer response:** ご指摘ありがとうございます！
タイトル画面に戻ってしまう問題と、予期せぬ中断が起きた場合にモジュールが保存されていない問題をすぐに修正してver2.2.1としてアップデートいたしました。
アップデートしてプレイしていただけると幸いです。

### 3/5 — バグ

*2026-06-03*

セクター+からバグで進行できなくなる。

**Developer response:** セクター+以降で進行できなくなる不具合についてご不便をお掛けしてすみません。
直近のアップデートでは軽量化も行っておりますので、改善しているかご確認いただけますと幸いです。
引き続き、今後のアップデートでも改善を進めていきます！

### 4/5 — 面白いと思うけど

*2026-06-02*

色々とバランスが悪いと思う。
モジュール解放後が効率良すぎて地道にメモリーをリブートしてたのが馬鹿らしくなる。
リブートする意味が最初の方が意味がなくなるし、無駄にすると最後が邪魔になる。
裏面が重くて、すぐフリーズしてしまうのをどうにかしてほしい。
まだまだ進化途中で面白くできそう

### 5/5 — モジュール発生から更に面白い

*2026-06-01*

最初からやり直しになっても引き継げるのでスルメゲー。ブロック崩しの操作はできないが、むしろ放置で見ていられるのも良い。

### 1/5 — あまりおすすめはしない

*2026-05-29*

一応全ステージはクリアしたけど
正直お金を払ってまで買うほどかなとは思う

**Developer response:** 最後まで遊んでいただいたのに、価格に見合う内容と感じていただけなかったことを申し訳なく思っています。
直近では自身で操作するようなゲーム性や、スキルの幅を広げるようなメジャーアップデートを検討しており、そのほかの改善も含めて今後どんどんアップデートしていく予定です。
少しずつでも満足度を上げられるよう頑張ります！
