Cornerbound

Cornerbound

A DVD logo bounces around the screen. Every time it hits an edge you get paid. Hit a corner and you get paid double.

That's the whole game, and then it isn't.

You buy a second logo. Then a third. Cookie Clicker rules apply here: no limit, no equipping, no picking a favourite. Every copy you buy is another thing bouncing around earning on its own. Eventually the screen is full and you can't tell which one just cornered. Doesn't matter. They all pay.

The skill tree has 72 nodes across five branches and every single one costs one point. No scaling costs, no arithmetic. Pick a direction and go.

Things to do with your hands:

• Click a logo to fling it at the nearest corner
• Catch glitches before they fade, for a cash lump or a frenzy multiplier
• Hire help. A cat that scratches logos so they pay double. A storm cell that drops lightning on them. A poltergeist that drags one into a corner by force. Three others.

When the numbers get silly you REBOOT. You lose the money, the logos, the skills, your level, all of it. You keep static, which multiplies everything you earn from then on, permanently. You also unlock three more logos, which is the only way to get them. There are 63 in the catalogue and no amount of money opens the later ones. You have to have actually done the runs.

53 achievements. Five chiptune tracks. Three save slots. It keeps earning while you're gone.
