About the Game

Hello everyone. I'm Shadowblue.
This is my first solely-developed game on steam.
Actually it's from a prototype idea I was testing for exploring a new way to design diversiform boss fights in 2D games efficiently.
After playing a lot of 2D games that require dodging skills(Like Touhou, Archero, POE, etc.)
I'm really weary of those repetitive monotonous boss stages. Challenge the same thing again and again is just not that fun over time.
So maybe it's a good idea to try adding more variations to boss battles, while somehow still keep everything balanced.
That's why I developed this game. I'll be glad if you like this idea too.

I'll continuously improve it and add more content. More unique bullet patterns, more fun.
And occasionally raise the selling price based on that:)

Key Features

Only boss fights, and lots of them
Numerous possible combos of boss and addons so even the same boss feels very different every time
Very simple control, just move that red dot to try dodging everything in a trial. No need to press other keys during the heat of battle
Infinite difficulty scaling, your limit will be tested
