Core Defense 360: 

Protect. Die. Upgrade. Repeat.

The core is under attack. How long will you hold the line?

Core Defense 360 is a high-octane, minimalist Survival Tower Defense designed for quick, intense sessions. No fluff, no distractions—just pure strategy and a relentless "one more run" loop.

⚡ The Loop

1. DEFEND: Prevent the core from being destroyed by waves of neon enemies.
2. DIE: Eventually, the onslaught will be too much. That’s part of the plan.
3. UPGRADE: Use the coins earned during your run to buy permanent stat boosts in the Armory.
4. REPEAT: Jump back in stronger, faster, and ready to reach higher waves.

🚀 Key Features

• 🔄 Deep Permanent Progression: Your efforts are never wasted. The Armory allows you to upgrade your armor, passive income, and firepower between every run.
• 🎮 Instant Action: Built as a lightweight Web App. No install, no account required. Play directly in your browser on Desktop or Mobile.
• 💎 Pure Ethical Gaming: 100% Free. No mandatory ads. No Pay-to-Win mechanics. Just you versus the waves.
• ✨ Minimalist Neon Aesthetic: Optimized for clarity and performance, even when the screen fills with hundreds of projectiles.

🛠️ Latest Update: v0.4.20

I am constantly refining the game based on player feedback. The latest version includes:

• Rebalanced Wave Difficulty: A smoother curve for a more rewarding challenge.
• Economy Overhaul: Adjusted coin gains and upgrade costs.
• Bug Fixes: Fixed the triple-shot projectile bug and improved window scaling for all platforms.
• Performance Sync: Consistent game speed across different browsers and devices.

👋 A Word from the Dev

I am a solo developer building Core Defense 360 as a passion project. After 5,300+ plays in the first week, I am dedicated to making this the best minimalist survival experience on the web.
