COREBOUND: Deep Drill

The signal comes from below. The deeper you drill, the clearer it gets.

COREBOUND is a game about drilling into alien planets. Every expedition starts at the surface and ends when your energy runs out. Between runs you spend what you mined on your ship and decide where to go next.

FIVE WORLDS

Terran-7 — a quiet world where it all begins. Learn which ore is worth your energy.
Frost Core — dense frozen strata and cryolite deposits.
Ignis — the heat drains your reserves; thermolite waits in the depths.
Viscos — sticky resin plates, amber and diamond veins.
Magnetar — the last world and the real test.

MAGNETAR SHOWS NO MERCY

The first four planets can be cleared with a well-upgraded rig. Magnetar cannot. Its rock is thousands of times harder, and on the way to the core every hazard you have met is waiting at once: frozen plates, burning strata, resin and magnetic belts. Only a ship built to the limit, with every shield and the super laser, reaches its core. For whatever you are missing, you will have to go back to the worlds you have already conquered.

A RIG YOU BUILD YOURSELF

Power, speed, energy capacity, efficiency, cargo — five upgrade lines and five ship classes. The laser and the helper drone are bought separately; on the last class the laser becomes a super laser. The side drill opens routes where the straight path is closed. Four shields — heater, heat shield, coating and magnetic shield — are built from the materials of their planets.

EVERYTHING COUNTS

Alloy, crystals, diamonds and planet materials are always scarce. Credits are the universal currency: exchange them for any unlocked resource. But every purchase raises the price, and mining it yourself is always cheaper.

WHAT WAITS BELOW

Sticky amber blocks slow you down. Violet containers roll a random outcome: an energy charge, a burst of power, crystals — or a temporary penalty. Artifacts and records of what happened here are buried deeper still.
