About CORELOCK
Protect the CORE!
Tap to fire blocks, and match at least three to make them burst! The wall grows… let it close the ring around the core and it's GAME OVER.
If you like bubble shooters and match 3 puzzles, this is my own vision of it rebuilt around a small core you have to keep clear.
Various game modes:
• ARCADE
• ZEN
• CLASSIC
• RUSH
• SNIPER
• PUZZLE
• DAILY
And more importantly:
• NO ADS!
• Nothing to buy: No lives, no timers to wait out…
• No account needed: sign-in is optional, and only for leaderboards.
• Plays completely offline.
• Multiple languages
• Different Skins, Filters and Colors to personalize your game experience
In short: A minimal arcade puzzle game about color, space, and a small core you have to keep clear.

SIX GAME MODES
ARCADE: four ways to survive, each with its own leaderboard:
• ZEN: nothing closes in. Start slow, no pressure at all.
• CLASSIC: the game as designed. The walls close in and the pace ratchets up.
• RUSH: higher speed, more colors from the very first shot, and the whole arena turns as you level.
• SNIPER: aim by hand, and the blocks appear one by one.
PUZZLE: a board that starts full and no clock at all. How few shots can you empty it in? Undo is free and unlimited, so a bad shot costs you a rethink and nothing else.
DAILY: one board a day, the same board for everyone, dealt nearly closed. The walls don't advance on a clock here. They advance on your moves!
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY
• NO ADS!
• Nothing to buy: no lives, no timers to wait out.
• No account needed: sign-in is optional, and only for leaderboards.
• Plays completely offline.
• Multiple languages.
• Various skins, color sets and screen filters to make it yours.
In short: a minimal arcade puzzle game about color, space, and a small core you have to keep clear.
