Cobalt Core
A sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder with a deep new single-axis spin on tactics games! Dodge missiles, line up your cannons, and blast 'em out of the sky... Then get to the bottom of these time loops, before it's too late!
Why on Deck
Cobalt Core is a deckbuilder that actually uses space. Positioning your ship on a single axis to dodge missiles and line up shots sounds simple, but it creates a tactical puzzle that’s genuinely fresh. Runs fit neatly into 30–45 minutes, which makes it great for pick-up play. The pixel art is punchy at handheld resolution, and the time-loop narrative has real charm buried underneath all the card synergies.
