Core Shot

Drag, aim, and release. Your ball sails up in a high arc, drops toward a cluster of spinning spheres, and has one job: slip through the holes and hit the glowing red core at the center.

Core Shot is a 3D arcade skill game that takes seconds to learn and much longer to master. Every sphere turns on its own axis, so the holes are always on the move. Read the spin, time your release, and thread the shot through one, two or three shells at once.

SIMPLE TO PLAY
• Hold the ball, drag up for distance and sideways to steer
• A dotted guide shows your arc and marks where it will land
• Too short drops in front, too long sails over. Find the sweet spot.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Levels: 50 handcrafted levels across 5 zones (Nebula Drift, Asteroid Belt, Ringed Giant, Galaxy Core and The Deep), with a boss level at the end of each zone. Earn up to 3 stars per level.
• Free Play: endless rounds with 1, 2 or 3 spheres. Every 5 core hits completes a round, and the spin speeds up as your score climbs.
• Daily Challenge: a new layout every day, 10 balls, one goal: your highest score.

POWER-UPS
Glowing orbs appear in the throwing lane. Throw through one to collect a special ball, then tap it in the tray to use it on your next throw.
• Pass-through ball: slips through the first sphere it touches
• Shatter ball: cracks a sphere, and a second crack breaks it apart
• Bomb ball: blows up the sphere it hits
• Freeze ball: stops a sphere from spinning for 4 more shots
• Split ball: splits into three balls on slightly different paths
