Armed with that and music from classic indie platformers, nothing is going to stop him from claiming his rightful place as the king of indie games!" ―Quote's description on the MOJO!!
The white spheres, however, are invincible and take away 20 HP when touched. Most projectiles can be destroyed for pickups and deal 3 damage to Quote on contact. During the phase where it fires the dark colored projectiles, the player should shoot at the exposed piece, which will cause its health meter to decrease when successfully hit. The Core then resumes its normal attack, having the smaller components firing the spinning projectiles while its centerpiece becomes invulnerable to damage.įor every second wave, the centerpiece of the Core opens, revealing blue eyes, indicating its vulnerability. It then fires three large white spheres that deal 20 damage each. On the eighth wave, the Core sends a gust of wind that blows Quote away from it. The water level also periodically starts to exceed the height of the screen, making it temporarily impossible for Quote to regain air until it recedes. She uses the Machine Gun unless Quote already has it in possession, in which case she uses the Polar Star instead. Īfter the first two waves occur, Curly regains consciousness and joins Quote in the fight. Each "wave" lasts for approximately 6-8 seconds. When the Core's centerpiece is exposed, it fires projectiles that appear to be dark blue-purple wisps straight ahead in addition to the white spinning ones.
The Core fires blue projectiles at Quote.Īt the start of the battle, the Core is invulnerable, in which its smaller components fire white projectiles that appear to spin as they move towards Quote.
An explosion causes Curly to become unconscious as the fight with the Core begins. The robot sends a warning signal, and the wide shutter allowing them to exit the room shuts immediately after. Curly is seen examining a broken robot from Team 9, who talks once Quote approaches. When first entering the Core room, the player must move the shutters up to allow the two robots to reach into the main open area of the room. The Core is encountered in the Core room, after Quote and Curly Brace pass through the Dark Place. In the 3D remake of the game, the Core appears to have a large, blue gaseous mass of swirling energy, and, rather than eyes, it has a yellow orb as its weak point. It has multiple smaller core fragments floating around it. The Core resembles a gigantic green seed with a large mouth that contains nine blue eyes inside.
