NOTE: I recommend playing the download version if possible. The web version Might have issues with some bullet patterns for some people. The music also doesn't loop at the correct point and pitch effects on SFX are broken. (Seems to be a Godot web export issue ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

HOW TO PLAY

  • Your hitbox is very small, (as is bullet hell tradition). Pay attention to the little pink dot on Neuro's back when dodging.
  • Hold [Shift] to move slowly. (You will need this!)
  • Press [z] to shoot (or confirm menu options)
  • Press [x] to summon a remnant.
    • Stay inside remnant to use it as a shield,
    • Move outside of a remnant and shoot though it to enhance bullets.
  • Use arrow keys to move
  • Press [S] to skip cutscenes
  • Press [F] to toggle full screen
  • Also supports controller! (Xbox notation - (X) or (A) to shoot / Dpad or Left Stick to move / Right Trigger to move slow / Left trigger to summon remnant / Start to skip cutscene / Select to toggle fullscreen.

ABOUT

Fairly happy with what I got done here. It's the first SHMUP I've ever finished, I ended spending a lot of time on getting the fundamental gameplay and bullet pattern stuff implemented. Unfortunately I completely ran out of time for sound and some basic things like a pause menu. (Edit: I've since added some music and sound, and I might add some polish in the future.) I imagine the game is a bit unbalanced. (Which is why I recommend playing on the "Casual" mode. I didn't have time to tweak bullet patterns individually, etc. The third boss is quite a difficulty spike.)

There are 3 bosses to fight and each has 8 phases. A single run through should be less than 10 minutes.

CREDITS

Everything in the game was created by me from scratch using Godot / Blender / Krita / Gimp / Aesprite. The only exceptions are the free fonts (Unisans, Oswald and Komika)

For the music and sound effects I used Reaper and almost all the sound effects were derived from the Krotos sound library. (Except some samples taken from Vedals stream for voices.)
