[http://www.remar.se/daniel/herocore.php Hero Core] is a [[Metroidvania]] [[Shoot'Em Up]] game by [[Daniel Remar]], the creator of [[Iji (Video Game)|Iji]]. It uses old-school [[Deliberately Monochrome|black and white graphics]] and 8-bit music to relate the never-ending war between Flip Hero and the Warmachine Cruiser Tetron. Though [[Nintendo Hard|quite hard]], it's a high-quality game with numerous bosses and endings.
 
Hero Core is also the sequel to an earlier game called Hero, also by Daniel Remar.
Line 48:
* [[Cast From Hit Points]]:
** The Expel ability. {{spoiler|Applies to the Elite bosses, too. If they try to expel with one hit point, they can't- they only get a question mark over their heads.}}
* [[Chest Blaster]]: The [[Humongous Mecha|Guardian]] has a laser and something which obviously is a [[Iji (Video Game)|MPFB Devastator]] built into its torso.
* [[Collision Damage]]: Flip Hero suffers from this. {{spoiler|So do the Elites.}}
* [[Combos]]: How Expel is triggered. {{color|white|↑↓←→X}}
Line 74:
{{quote| [[Crowning Moment of Funny|This upgrade has increase my "level" 1. Remember eat vegetables also to grow strong.]]}}
* [[Interface Spoiler]]: Various questionmark items in the menu.
* [[Internal Homage]]: Remember [[Iji (Video Game)|Iji]]? Annihilation difficulty gives you a first-hand view of {{spoiler|Ciretako!}}
** ''Iji'' itself contained an homage to ''Hero'', the game to which ''[[Hero Core]]'' is a sequel.
** {{spoiler|Cruiser Tetron's second phase duplicates his attack pattern from the original Hero}}
Line 100:
{{quote| {{smallcaps|REALLY}}<br />
== THREAT LEVEL [[Harder Than Hard|255]] == }}
* [[Rank Inflation]]: In the boss rush, there are ''five'' ranks above A: {{spoiler|"Hero", "[[Tyrian (Video Game)|Lord of Game]]", "You can stop now", "Seriously" and "[[Memetic Badass|reallyjoel's dad]]". The last few aren't intended to be achievable, but Daniel Remar put them in based on the ridiculous performance of certain [[Cave Story (Video Game)|Sacred Grounds]] runs.}}
* [[Recurring Boss]]: You have to destroy several Generators to progress, just like in the first. Also, the Eliminator/Hunter-Killer, who attacks many times until you are powerful enough to beat him.
* [[Restart At Level One]]: To [[Averted Trope|avert]] this, Flip Hero didn't gain any levels and equipment upgrades before fighting his way through Tetron's asteroid. Which is why Annihilation is a [[Minimalist Run]] and [[Low-Level Run]]...
Line 107:
* [[Sequence Breaking]]: You can bypass most of the game and get to the final boss with {{spoiler|Expelling}}.
** [[Marathon Boss]]: Fittingly, the Plasma Hydra in Hard Mode. Also, Tetron and the Guardian.
* [[Series Mascot]]: Flip Hero seems to be this for Remar Games, seeing as he gets referenced in a few other games that have nothing to do with him and appears in the Remar Games logo in the ''[[Garden Gnome Carnage (Video Game)|Garden Gnome Carnage]]'' Flash version. In a strange variant of the trope, he's not even from Remar's most popular game.
* [[Speed Run]]: [[Daniel Remar]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CcVj3-xnls made one for the Normal and Normal Boss Rush modes], as he did for [[Iji (Video Game)|Iji]].
* [[Sound of No Damage]]: A high-pitched "ding", which also fell under [[Most Annoying Sound]] before its volume was reduced in an update.
* [[Stationary Boss]]: {{spoiler|Tetron's final form, which, aside from being awesome, also makes it [[Anticlimax Boss|incredibly easy]].}} Also, Generators and the Plasma Hydra.
