About

Corebreak

Features
Read full description

Corebreak turns classic brick breaking into a high-pressure cannon roguelite. Drag to line up the shot, read the first wall bounce, and release a glowing volley through numbered strata. Every ricochet matters. Collect +1 orbs to grow your volley, crack Core Gems to detonate rows, and build combos before the formation presses into the crush line. BUILD THE RUN Every 15 depths, draft one of three upgrades. Stack Volley, Power Core, Blast Radius, Lucky Strike, Pushback, and Chain Reaction into a build that changes how the board breaks. The right combination can turn one precise shot into a screen-clearing cascade. FEEL EVERY IMPACT • Readable aim projection with the first wall bounce • Fast-forward for long volleys • Combo-pitched impacts, screen shake, hit-stop, and haptics • Damage-reactive bricks and escalating strata • Core Gem detonations and chain reactions • Run saving with one-tap Continue • Daily challenges, progression, and power-up inventory • No ads at all The deeper you drill, the harder every new row hits. Build boldly, aim cleanly, and see how far your cannon can break. FREE AND PRO Free play is the real thing: runs to the first ascent at depth 45, two run mutators, the starter Forge tier, and one official daily attempt each day. The optional full unlock or StackForge Play Pass removes the depth cap and adds all five mutators, the complete Forge tree, daily replays and streak tracking, the global leaderboard, cosmetics, run analytics, and cloud sync.
