Core Fault

Source code for the Playdate game "Core Fault", made by me (SquidGod) and davemakes. A mini Vampiror Survivors-like game where you control a remoted operated mining droid, using crank operated movement to weave around and fight enemies, get upgrades, and run it back. I handled most of the code, and davemakes handled all the art, music, sfx, and most of the game balancing. You can find it on Catalog and Itch IO.
