7 itemsAbout the Game
Bassline Sinker is a Shooter / Bullet hell that responds to your music.
This arcade shooter takes in any .mp3 / .wav file, the game then changes and reacts in real time to the audio. Your weapons, enemies and the environment all react differently to the music making every song flow differently in the game.
The game is set in an underwater seascape, with the player taking control of “Ruby” the manta ray. However, many other sea creatures also use the power of the music to fight against Ruby. Eels that surround her, angler fish that lure her in and Squids which shoot Ink bombs at her.
Bassline Sinker was made by a single Developer. Programming, Art, Design, Publishing were all done by Sean Fitzgerald. Fonts, SFX and preinstalled music were sourced from the public domain.
