About the Game

Bullet Boy is the chosen champion of his village, armed with a legendary magic gun once used to defend the land. But the weapon is unfinished, and the NecroKing’s forces are spilling into your homeland. With no time to wait, you launch yourself into the NecroKing’s cursed tower — a gauntlet of enemy-filled rooms, brutal mini-bosses, and the NecroKing himself.

Each run is a fight for survival. Death is permanent, but fragments of your progress carry over as buffs for future attempts. Will you resist the NecroKing’s corruption, embrace his potions for temporary power, or wield his sigils to seize dark necromancy? Your choices shape one of three endings.

Key Features

  • Fast-paced top-down combat – Dash, dodge, and shoot through chaotic arenas packed with enemies.

  • Bullet absorption system – Catch enemy projectiles to refill your ammo pool at the cost of health.

  • Crypt Point progression – Earn CP on death and spend it in the Home Room to unlock lasting upgrades.

  • Dynamic tower floors – Randomized rooms, hazards, and enemy combinations make every run unique.

  • Potions & power-ups – Find temporary boosts and healing items mid-run.

  • Corruption alignment – Your actions decide the fate of Bullet Boy and the world he protects.

Home Room Hub

Between runs, rest in the Home Room — a safe space within the tower featuring:

  • Shopkeeper Joe, who sells CP upgrades and gradually loses his mind.

  • Trophy altar that records your victories and endings.

  • Environmental decay over time: burned-out candles, dust buildup, and shifting dialogue the longer you’re gone.

Art & Audio

  • Stylized pixel-art visuals with dark, corrupted tones.

  • Gungeon-style smooth camera follow.

  • Reactive audio that dips during upgrades and glitches under corruption.

  • Original soundtrack and handcrafted sound effects.
