About Void Core
Void Core is a short incremental simulation where you guide a tiny black hole through clouds of matter, pulling everything into the void. Each run expands your reach, unlocking brighter tiers of particles as you move toward the ultimate Collapse.
The Windows‑only title offers single‑player play, branching upgrade trees, and up to eight active collector swarms. Music by Retro Indie Josh (2021) is released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license, and the game supports Steam achievements and family sharing.
01 / THE GUIDE
Incremental Journey
The core loop has you consume matter to grow your black hole, progressing from a tiny singularity toward a denser, brighter state. Each successful run adds resources that feed the next attempt, creating a loop of continual expansion.
Progress is measured by reaching new resource tiers, each representing a brighter rush of particles. The journey culminates in the Collapse, the final stage of growth.
- Watch how quickly each tier unlocks to gauge current growth speed.
- Compare early runs with later ones to see how resource flow changes.
02 / THE GUIDE
Resource Tiers
Void Core features seven distinct resource tiers. As you ascend each tier, the particles become denser and provide more haul for upgrades, acting as milestones that signal stronger gravitational pull.
Higher tiers also increase the visual intensity of the rush, making each progression feel more rewarding while supplying additional resources for further upgrades.
- Check which tier you are on before starting a new run.
- Notice the visual shift when moving to a higher tier.
03 / THE GUIDE
Upgrade Trees
Collected resources can be spent across branching upgrade trees. These trees let you strengthen gravity, expand reach, and combine talents that alter how you gather and move matter.
Each branch offers a different set of effects, allowing you to shape the black hole’s growth according to the resources you have available.
- Experiment with different branches to see which upgrades complement your current strategy.
- Balance upgrades that boost collection speed with those that increase capacity.
04 / THE GUIDE
Collector Swarms
Automation arrives via collector swarms that can be deployed and upgraded. Up to eight swarms may be active, each funneling resources between runs and supporting continuous growth.
Swarms act as a steady income source, turning passive collection into material for further upgrades and helping maintain momentum across successive runs.
- Deploy multiple swarms early to establish a reliable resource stream.
- Upgrade swarms strategically to match the current resource tier.
