Crawl out of your hole, for destiny beckons. Begin as a lowly insect in a primordial soup of bullet-slop misery and rise through the echelons to the heavenly heights of bullet hell gods.  

To ascend through the astral planes, you’ll need to out-spam the spammers, out-summon the swarms, and outlast even the toughest of opponents. The solution: become your very own bullet hell boss. Unimaginable mass and power await.

Pick and choose aspects from tailored archetypes such as a dodge-reliant glass cannon, vampiric life-steal, massive horde master, and many more

On your journey, you will also collect run-changing relics. They may completely redefine your archetype. Will you pivot halfway through, or stick to your previous strategy for ascension?

 


p1 02

Preparation is key. Before you head into battle and attempt to dethrone gods, you are faced with a cryptic game board. Each playable character comes with their own slew of board-based challenges and unique features to master. 

Aim your dice throws to achieve volatile multiplier effects. Use collision physics to your advantage and change unlucky rolls for the better (or worse). Every throw might completely redefine your power distribution.  

p2 01

Your next decisions will decide your fate inside the arena. Slot your dice into spell-based parameters in order to maximise the synergy between your overall build and the relics you collected.
Will you dump all your hopes and dreams into a singular, over-powered spell, or go wide and wear down your opponent with a well-rounded roster of attacks?  

Unique Progression Model: 

  • Skill-Based Dice Rolling  
  • Classic Spell x Relic Synergies 
  • Pick & Choose from Tailored Archetypes 
  • Various Characters & Game Boards 

Simple, Juicy, High-Octane Combat:

Really fun game!
Love the art style, the gameplay, and the sound design.
It's kind of like darks souls... if darks souls was a 2.5d bug-themed deckbuilder lol?
A little challenging, but not too hard! I like it a lot!

One problem that I ran into though:
I think I got a bug (no pun intended) that ruined my run as spidey gonzales.
I picked a 7th spell to add to my deck, and tried to replace a slot on the spell board.
I wasn't sure if I could have 7 spells or not, and I'm guessing this run-ending means I cant. 🤷‍♂️
When clicking on the slot, it made the sound and lit up the board as though it had been placed, but the spell didn't replace the other spell on the board and the cursor didn't change back to normal.
I can't place the spell in any slots, and I can't seem to continue the run either.
Escape key and right-click don't seem to break out of it, but maybe there's a way to cancel the selection of this new spell? 

Picture for reference of how the screen looks at the point of being stuck (Browser build)


Not sure if it helps, but the last thing I can see in the console is the following two errors being logged

Joffrey ruined me, skill issue.
Quite an interesting player perspective. The limitations of the circle are something I need to get used to, but it's definitely intriguing.

Rolling the dice is very satisfying and the aesthetics, especially the transistions are epic! Love em!

Happy to hear you liked it 🙂
