Core Backup

Note: The last build was uploaded after the deadline, but there were no changes made to the project itself. This is my first time publishing on itch and using Butler—I was simply trying to rename the zip file. I just realized I can adjust it directly from itch.io. Thanks for your understanding!

Core Backup is a quirky platformer-puzzle created for the Mega Stack ‘O’ Jam.

You play as a tiny bot with a big mission: to save its planet after the enemy’s final strike shuts down every defense system.

Jump, climb, and solve mechanical puzzles across floating islands, cranky machines, and odd contraptions — all to protect the Core, the planet’s last hope.
