About the Game

Somewhere between a bullet hell and a card game…


Throughout 5 different stages, Heck Deck will challenge your precision and dexterity during the bullet hell phases and your strategy when using your cards. Each card you pick up will cost you at least one life point, so you will have to be careful about which ones you pick on your way.

The abstract and minimalist world of Heck Deck is created with a cute hand-drawn art style. Each level of the game has its own universe, its own music, its own set of enemies, and of course, its own boss.


Heck Deck main features:


  • 5 different levels with their own music
  • A cute hand-drawn art style
  • One unique setting for each level
  • Dozens of attacks and spells for the player
  • Over 30 enemies and bosses
  • A card purchase system via the shop


The strategy created by the use of cards mixed with the dexterity required during the bullet hell phases makes Heck Deck truly unique! Are you up to the challenge? Wishlist now!
