About the Game

Polycore A 2D pixel-art platformer with a geometric twist. You are Polycore, a sentient 12-sided interdimensional being, peacefully orbiting a strange, colorful planet—until a mysterious spaceship blasts you out of the sky. Crashing into the planet’s core, you're shattered, reduced to a mere triangle.

Your mission: rebuild yourself, piece by piece, and seek revenge. Climb. Collect. Conquer.

Begin your journey in the crater you created. Every jump challenges your agility and your mind, as you hunt down your lost sides, each one reshaping your form. As you evolve from triangle to square to dodecagon, your thirst for vengeance increases exponentially.

Features: Dynamic shape-shifting mechanics

Smooth, responsive platforming built for precision and experimentation

Epic finale: Reclaim your full form, return to orbit, and bring the battle back to the stars Will you reclaim your sides and your strength? Or stay shattered forever?

The Polycore, an eldritch being of shape and form. The silent fractal adventuerer explores the reaches of deep space, orbiting an unknown planet. Suddenly, as it searches for more shapes, it is knocked into the atmosphere by a ship of intruders warping in. Falling through the surface of the planet, it finds it has lost form and must regain its shape. Trapped within the depths of unfamiliar ruins, with only one way out! Will you help the Polycore utilize and build back its geometry and escape back into the void?
