Downcore: Neon Mine Roguelike

One thumb, one long fall. Four biomes, forty relics, a boss in every seam and a daily seed everyone shares. How deep do you get before it takes you?

Downcore is a vertical roguelike about falling. Your drone mines, shoots and picks things up on its own. You decide where to go, when to burn the ability and which relics to take. Your score is how deep you got.

STEER, DON'T GRIND Drag anywhere to move, tap for the ability. That is the whole control scheme: one thumb, portrait, playable standing on a bus. The drone handles the shooting, so the only question left is how fast you are willing to fall.

MOMENTUM Keep falling at pace and your damage climbs to x3. Stall behind a rock to catch your breath and you lose it. Rock is cover and cover is safe, but safe is slow. Pick one.

A DIFFERENT DRONE EVERY RUN Forty relics that stack in ways that get out of hand. Fifteen events that can go well or go very badly. Four classes, each unlocked by something you did rather than something you bought. A run takes five to eight minutes and no two of them go the same way.

FOUR BIOMES, SIX BOSSES The Crust, the Ice Caverns, the Magma Core, and then the Void, where everything keeps scaling and nothing stops. There is a boss standing in every seam between them.

THE DAILY RUN One seed a day, the same one for everybody, one attempt that counts. Miss a day and the streak goes back to zero.

LEADERBOARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS Game Center leaderboards for all time depth and for today's run, plus twenty achievements to work through.

NOTHING IS GATED No depth limit to buy, no energy bar, no timers, nothing to wait for. The cores you mine buy variety: relics, events, classes, abilities. Never stats. You cannot pay to be stronger here, only to have more to play with.

DOWNCORE SUPPORTER One purchase, once, forever. No subscription. It turns off the ads, lets you replay today's seed as many times as you like, and adds two drone skins. None of it makes your drone stronger.

NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGN UP There is no login and no profile. Your progress is a file on your phone. Ads are optional, capped at three a day, and never interrupt a run. The whole game works on a plane.
