About Core Trials
Core Trials is a motion-based, pixel-art bullet hell roguelike you play with just your webcam. Move your body to control the core, dodge deadly patterns, unleash powerful abilities, and survive the high-octane action. Every run is a new dance of danger, choice, and growth.
Dodge, Strike, and Evolve
In Core Trials, you literally control the core with your body! Move, dash, jump, duck, and dive to dodge the relentless attacks of the Trial Masters. Every move matters. No buttons, no controllers, just you and your core!Shape Your Fate
The Trials are never the same twice. Collect blessings that grant you powers, and suffer curses that twist the rules of play. Every choice alters your path forward, every failure is a lesson in growth. Do you risk chaos for strength, or cling to control?Masters and More
Face Trial Masters with unique attack styles that push your limits in unexpected ways. Each encounter changes how you play, sometimes even how your core itself is out of your control. Explore shifting environments, survive vicious tricks, and carve your path toward proving your worth.Pixel-Perfect Punishment
Wrapped in simple old school pixel art and fueled by unhinged surge of action, Core Trials may look simple, but it’s anything but. Hesitation means defeat. Learn, adapt, and rise, only those who master body, mind, and core will endure.What Steam players say

I look like an idiot when I play this game, I love it5 found this helpful
Dev cranked up the difficulty at the request of one person without any option to turn it back down. It was fun before but now it feels unplayable.3 found this helpful
Summary: Great devs. Neat idea. Execution could maybe be a bit smoother. The good: This is great fun for like half-an-hour or so every once in a while, which is very fair for the price IMO, and exactly what I wanted from it. Plus, I highly recommended for kids. My nephew had a blast with it. Also, one of the devs helped me resolve a game breaking-bug rather quickly, and they're all active and responsive on Discord. Very chill studio. However, if you consider buying this, I do recommend checking your webcam's capabilities beforehand. 30FPS movment feels a bit clunky, and low res can also affect your gameplay quality.3 found this helpful
The game is literally not playable if you have an AMD GPU. This is a known issue since April 14 2025 (Look at discussions). The developers have abandoned this game and have not fixed this issue nor communicated in any way since then.1 found this helpful
Yeah, this game is pretty sweet. The more you play the more cool stuff you discover. The illustrations are very, very cool. The camera works well. The "brush" system is really slick and it took me a few minutes to figure out what it was. You can recoup lost health by narrowly avoiding obstacles. Every level is unique, all of the attacks are exciting. Not even sure how the runs work, sometimes you can pick your next foe. There are layers to this game. It will require getting out of your seat and moving around, but it's nothing exhausting. I played in a small bedroom just fine. Also, the devs were active on Reddit when I bought this, and they seem like cool guys just trying to make the best game they can.1 found this helpful
