Command. Survive. Evolve. You are the last Biocore Pilot — a survivor stranded on a dying alien world. Your only hope lies within the Biocore system, an ancient technology capable of creating life, weapons, and power beyond human understanding. But every pulse of energy draws swarms of hostile creatures closer. Survive long enough to rebuild, upgrade, and uncover what remains of humanity’s final outpost. Lead Your Squad You don’t fight alone — command a squad of AI-controlled soldiers, each with unique stats and weapons. Soldiers automatically shoot enemies, protect you, and level up alongside you. Merge duplicate soldier cards to strengthen your team — each merge grants a permanent +5% damage bonus to all allies. Equip alien weapons, experiment with mutators, and customize your formation for any threat. Customize Alien Weapons Discover alien tech with unpredictable behavior: Homing missiles, bouncing projectiles, or exploding shots Every run reshapes how your arsenal behaves Combine weapons with soldier perks to create unstoppable synergies Unlock Perks Through Achievements Your greatest breakthroughs come from survival itself. Complete achievements during your runs to unlock powerful Perks — rare, permanent augmentations that change how you and your squad fight. Each achievement unlocks a specific Perk Perks can be equipped to soldiers to grant stat boosts and unique effects Build specialized roles: glass-cannon snipers, poison spreaders, explosive bruisers, or support units Perks are permanent unlocks, but loadouts are yours to customize every run Progress is tracked across sessions — every milestone brings you closer to your next evolution. Evolve Through Upgrades Collect Biocores to upgrade everything — permanently. Choose between randomized upgrades every level. Unlock permanent enhancements between sessions. Increase projectile counts, lifesteal, speed, raw damage… and now, Perk power. Every run feels different, every upgrade matters. Race Against Time Each session has a strict time limit. Defeat enemies to extend your life — or watch the clock run out. Every boss kill adds 60 seconds, but with each passing wave, enemies grow stronger. Survive Endless Waves Face escalating hordes across alien biomes: Enemies scale every wave Defeat bosses with massive HP bars How long can you survive before the planet consumes you? Set Your Challenge Adjust the difficulty slider to define your experience: Higher difficulty = stronger enemies, higher Biocore multipliers, and bigger rewards Each difficulty tracks its own highest wave record Prove your dominance at every level.
