Mining roguelike where you mine, fight enemies with a plasma laser, and buy upgrades.

PLASMA CORE is a pixel-art roguelite incremental about mining deep and building smart. Your laser digs rock and burns creatures. Your energy is your life: it drains every second and with every hit. Get out with everything, or push one mine deeper.

Features

• One beam for everything. The plasma laser mines ore and fights. Grow it up to four beams and a piercing lance.
• Energy is life. Fly back up, plant the recall capsule, or ride the exit lift that rises where a guardian falls. Run dry and you lose part of the haul.
• A base that plays like a puzzle. Every upgrade is a building with its own shape (L, T, Z, 2×3...). Machines need a Generator's power field, neighbors boost each other, noisy machines bother the Sonar. Moving is free.
• A factory that works while you dive. The smelter turns slag into alloy, and drone bays build your squad during the run.

Demo

This is a demo version, and includes around 30 minutes of gameplay. Any feedback is appreciated to improve the game. Thank you!
