Demo Update: Transparency, Extra Cores, & Heavy Progression Tuning!

CoreBreaker: Desktop Swarm · published 3 months ago

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey everyone! Quick update to make your desktop-corner setup cleaner and your progression way faster. Here is what’s new in the latest build:

Better Auto-Aim & QOL

  • Smart Auto-Aim Toggle: Added a new button in the settings.

    • ON: Pure auto-aiming 100% of the time.

    • OFF: The game follows your cursor when you hover over it, but seamlessly switches back to auto-aiming the second you click away to do your actual work.

Progression & Core Overhaul

  • More Cores to Unlock: Expanded your arsenal! You can now unlock up to 4 Basic Cores, 3 Ice Cores, and 2 Arc Cores (added +1 to each tier).

  • Massive Skill Tree Buff: Increased the maximum levels for skill tree nodes.

  • Faster Pace Economy: Increased the currency dropped by enemies across the board. The game pace is faster, and you'll hit those high-tier upgrades much quicker.

Desktop Mode & UI Improvements

  • Semi-Transparent Window: When scaled down into small window mode, the game background is now semi-transparent! It’s not fully invisible, but it blends into your desktop background way better while you work.

  • Right-Click Drag: You can now instantly right-click and drag the game window anywhere on your screen. No more fighting with desktop borders.

  • Hide HUD ("H" Key): Want total minimalism? When focused inside the game window, press "H" to completely hide the UI/HUD.

  • Resolution Freedom: As a reminder, you can still seamlessly scale the window down to tiny 200x200 / 300x300 modes, all the way up to 1280x1280 or full screen.
