## What is Vertex Core?

SWIPE. FIRE. SURVIVE THE TUBE.

Vertex Core is a neon vector tube shooter built for one-thumb-fire,
one-thumb-swipe mobile play. Spin around a glowing wireframe web,
blast down everything crawling toward your rim, and chain kills into
screen-clearing power.

• PURE VECTOR STYLE - every line on screen is drawn in real time.
  No sprites, no textures. Just glowing neon against black.

• SEVEN ENEMY TYPES - cartwheeling Tumblers, splitting Splitters,
  wall-climbing Impalers, lane-electrifying Conductors, swarming
  packs, and Hunters that shoot back. Learn them, or lose to them.

• THREE POWER-UPS - a tube-clearing Plasma Bomb, piercing Laser
  Storm, and a time-bending Chrono Field. Bank them. Unleash them
  when it counts.

• BOSS BATTLES EVERY 6 LEVELS - a colossal, ever-morphing Core
  Guardian descends from the sky. Armored. Evasive. Only vulnerable
  in the instant its core cracks open. Beat it and earn a wingman.

• ENDLESS VARIETY - 10 tube shapes and 8 color schemes cycle
  independently, so the run never looks the same way twice.

• CHASE THE LEADERBOARD - a local top-8 table, three-letter arcade
  name and all. No ads mid-run, no pay-to-win.

Free through the first boss fight. Unlock the full run whenever
you're ready to go further.
