Core Trials is a motion-based, pixel-art bullet hell roguelike you play with just your webcam. Move your body to control the core, dodge deadly patterns, unleash powerful abilities, and survive the high-octane action. Every run is a new dance of danger, choice, and growth.

In Core Trials, you literally control the core with your body! Move, dash, jump, duck, and dive to dodge the relentless attacks of the Trial Masters. Every move matters. No buttons, no controllers, just you and your core!

The Trials are never the same twice. Collect blessings that grant you powers, and suffer curses that twist the rules of play. Every choice alters your path forward, every failure is a lesson in growth. Do you risk chaos for strength, or cling to control?

Face Trial Masters with unique attack styles that push your limits in unexpected ways. Each encounter changes how you play, sometimes even how your core itself is out of your control. Explore shifting environments, survive vicious tricks, and carve your path toward proving your worth.

Wrapped in simple old school pixel art and fueled by unhinged surge of action, Core Trials may look simple, but it’s anything but. Hesitation means defeat. Learn, adapt, and rise, only those who master body, mind, and core will endure.
