About the development

This was my first bullet hell game so I started by searching for what experienced players find important in these games. Someone pointed out the importance of being able to influence the effectiveness of your offense with your positioning. This led me to the idea of "bullet crates" that attack the boss when opened, and can be hit from any direction to set it flying. If you hit it from the right direction you can sometimes set off a chain reaction and do a lot of damage.
