Dual Core

Dual Core is a game built around the constant theme of duality, where every mechanic reflects the balance between two opposing forces.

Controls:

• W / S – Navigate menu options
• Enter – Confirm selection
• E – Interact with laboratory buttons and experimental devices
• A / D – Move the character left and right
• Space – Jump
• R – Restart the game 

The main theme of the game is duality. Gravity can be inverted, light can become a threat through containment lasers, and movement itself becomes part of the experimental puzzle inside a subterranean laboratory.

Coins represent experimental energy fragments. Collecting them permanently reduces player speed, creating a risk–reward system where progression comes with sacrifice.

The entire game, including programming, art, design, and development, was created independently by Davi Menezes | MidasDEV.

Balance the duality. Break the experiment. Survive the underground.

I sincerely apologize that the web version of the game could not be properly exported to itch.io due to technical issues related to HTML5 build compatibility and export bugs.

The game was originally intended to be fully playable in browser, but export constraints prevented a stable web release without affecting gameplay performance, camera zoom behavior, and system mechanics.

Thank you for understanding, and I hope you enjoy the downloadable version of the game.
