About Critical Core 2

Critical Core 2 is a free arcade survival game born from the 2025 Global Game Jam. The core has been flooded and its Deadly Doom is back to destroy everything. Use bubbles of power to hold back the chaos and keep the core safe.

  • Simple to grasp but relentlessly escalating, that classic one more go feeling.
  • Easy to pick up, harder to put down.
  • Backed by a great soundtrack and satisfying sound design that keeps you locked in.
