corectl

Shape the route. Overload the network.

corectl is a 2D roguelite tower defense built around limited loadouts, route control, and wave-by-wave synergies. Reroute enemies entering from three fronts, create chokepoints, and build a defense network that concentrates fire where it matters.

Turn the path into a weapon

Walls and structures reshape enemy routes. Balance turret range, blast radius, slowing fields, and support coverage to force each wave through the worst possible path. Deploy and recall structures during combat to rebuild a collapsing line.

Up to six building types. One network.

Basic turrets and walls are always part of your loadout. Fill the remaining slots with cannons, lasers, railguns, mine layers, slowing fields, repair and decoy nodes, overclock beacons, arc coils, and more. You cannot bring every tool, so every omission matters.

Connect rewards. Break the rules.

Choose a reward after each wave. Extra shots, explosions, slows, freezes, wall reactions, taunts, chain lightning, and reload effects can trigger one another. Individual upgrades become components; the real reward is the chain reaction they create together.

Return stronger

Earn research points after each defense, unlock new structures and starting options, then rebuild your six-type loadout for the next run.
