A downloadable game for Windows

This game was submitted for Bullet Hell Jam 2022.

Note: This has been hastily implemented due to time constraints, and many components which I had intended to include (such as power-ups, life counters, and even a simple scoring system) have yet to be implemented.

Thus, even by the standards of a proof-of-concept-demo, this game is very, very, VERY incomplete.

Plot:

I'll think of it, when I come to it.

Gameplay:

Per the trademark definition of the "bullet hell" genre, the player's objective is simply to shoot at anything that moves, whilst avoiding an entourage of incoming projectiles. 

Controls:
