Bullet is still in development. It's maybe 80% of the way there, but some elements such as sound, interface, and custom content are likely to change.

The current version is still fully playable.

----

In this tense, fast-paced puzzle game, players take on the role of heroines who settle their disputes with each other through excessive firepower! Use your actions to form patterns, clear your sight, and assault the opponent! Keep up dealing with the curtain of bullets coming at you each round and be the last heroine standing to win!

Rules

  • Each round, you will face an increasing amount of bullets. Depending on their color and number, they will be placed on your board. If it does not fit, it will instead hit and damage your heroine.
  • You cannot advance to the next round until all bullets are taken.
  • In order to clear bullets, you must match the requirements and clears denoted by your patterns, which are located in the bottom-center of your screen: If you meet all the patterns requirements, you clear all bullets on * spaces, and get that many points!
  • You have seven action points, which are refreshed between rounds. You can use them to move bullets around, or draw new patterns, or activate other actions, which are specific to different character! The action sidebar is the right side of the screen.
  • Each heroine has a unique special ability, a unique set of patterns, and a unique set of actions to make them all play differently!

Is this downloadable in any way? I would love to play it on my Miyoo Mini.
