About this game
What this game is, in the developer's words
A hard, fast-paced, minimalist shooter/bullet hell game. Survive and shoot all black squares (or make them shoot themselves). 200 levels, lots of enemies and even more bullets!
Survive and shoot all enemies in 200 levels (or make them shoot themselves). Each level cleared opens the next one permanently (autosave). Enemies come in a variety of types, speeds and action patterns, while other squares do a multitude of things, ranging from reflecting bullets to teleporting you. Enemies are killed with a single hit, and so do you. Failing a level has no consequences. While the first levels are easy and often, very quick, difficulty increases greatly in later levels.
