You are a white core adrift in a field of cosmic dust. Survive the 12-minute collapse, destroy what it sends at you, and ignite a star.

White Core is a minimalist survivor-like rendered entirely in 8 shades of gray. No sprites, no textures, no imported assets — every star, enemy and explosion is drawn procedurally, pixel by pixel. The music and sound are synthesized live as you play.

How it plays

  • Auto-attacking survival: move, dodge, absorb the mass of dispersed enemies.
  •  Each level offers a choice of 6 field laws — Focus Lens, Orbital Nodes, Gravwave, Black Pull, Light Fracture, White Halo. Stack and combine them.
  • 5 enemy types with distinct behaviors, escalating pressure phases, and a final boss when the timer hits zero.
  • A full run is 12 minutes. Die and the collapse wins; survive and you ignite a star.

Features

  • 100% procedural monochrome visuals — dithering, particles, a drifting galaxy of dust
  • Live-synthesized ambient drone that darkens when the collapse arrives
  • Keyboard or touch controls — playable on mobile
  • English, Russian and Chinese interface
  • Best-run records saved locally
