Cyberpunk tower defense: stop malware waves and duel your friends online.
Read full description
Your motherboard has been breached. Wave after wave, malware races down the circuit traces toward the core — and only the hardware towers you build stand in its way.
CORE BREACH: ZERO-DAY is a cyberpunk tower defense where the map is literally a printed circuit board: enemies are corrupted data running along the traces, and every tower is a real motherboard component turned into a weapon.
★ 4 TOWERS, 4 UPGRADE LEVELS EACH
• Pulse Relay — fast, cheap fire; at max level its shots ricochet to extra targets.
• Capacitor Arc — pure control: deals no damage, but slows everything in range, adds a near-stop pulse and, at max level, reveals phased Glitches.
• Firewall Beam — continuous beam that hits harder the longer it stays locked on a target. Melts armor.
• Resistor Mortar — the heaviest hit in the game, with area impact and long range.
★ 8 KINDS OF MALWARE
Bit Packet swarms, Worms that split when destroyed, armored Trojan Heavies, Glitches that phase out, lightning-fast Flash Worms, stealthy Rootkits that shrug off slows, Ransomware that steals your Clock Cycles — and Zero-Day, the final boss.
★ BUS LOAD: EVERY WATT COUNTS
Every tower draws power from the board's bus, and each map has a fixed capacity. Go over it and ALL your towers fire slower. Upgrading a tower makes it more power-efficient, so the real question is always: build more, or build better?
★ ONLINE DUELS WITH FRIENDS
Challenge a friend to a 1v1 Duel: one builds the defense with a fixed budget, the other builds the attack with points — neither sees the other's move. When both are ready, the match plays out at the same time on both phones. Share a 6-letter code or a link to invite a friend, then swap sides for the rematch. (Duels need internet and a Google Play Games account.)
★ A FULL CAMPAIGN
100 waves, 6 maps, 3 difficulty levels, automatic save and resume, and the Hardware & Malware Archive with stats, upgrades and lore for every tower and enemy. The campaign plays offline, by touch or with a Bluetooth/USB controller.
★ GOOGLE PLAY GAMES
3 leaderboards (highest wave, efficiency and duels won) and 10 achievements.
★ FREE, NO PAY-TO-WIN
Core Breach: Zero-Day is free to play, with no pay-to-win: the only ads are full-screen ones between matches — never during a wave — and a one-time "Remove Ads" purchase turns them off for good. Available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Reboot the system. Contain the breach. Don't let anything reach the core.
