Bullet Hell Platformers? 2023-03-14 14:34:57


Long story short; I want to know of any good bullet hell platformers. I remember playing a bullet hell platformer back in the day and I'd like to know of any good games to study/ learn from for game mechanics to borrow from.

Are you thinking a bullet hell with patterns and a ton of bullets that is also a platformer, or a platformer with many bullets?


There are no platforms, but there's Zero Hour. I'm working on the version with platforms, coming... eventually.

Dude Holy shit that was an amazing game for the demo! I played through the entire thing and I have to say; similar mechanics to I was planning on doing actually. It was heart pounding, thrilling and very engaging combat!


Also to note I decided I'd play more bullet hells and platformers to see what I could take from both genres to use design wise.
