Retro Bullet Hell
Retro Bullet Hell is a mouse-controlled bullet hell inspired by Just Shapes & Beats and Geometry Dash. Your cursor is your ship — move it to survive bullets, beams, explosions, blocks and black holes, all timed to the music.
Features
- Dodge everything — bullets, sweeping beams, explosions, growing blocks and black holes that pull you in.
- Defuse under pressure — click bombs, touch bombs, and lock-and-key puzzles you solve while the screen is on fire.
- Full level editor — place attacks on a music timeline, test instantly, and watch the built-in AutoPlay bot dodge your map live.
- Use your own music — add your own MP3 / OGG / WAV songs right inside the editor.
- Share maps with codes — export a map as a code, paste someone else's code to play their level.
- Practice mode — start anywhere in a map and slow it down to 0.5x or 0.75x.
- Ghost replay — see exactly where and how you died last time.
- Hardcore rule — make any map 1-heart only.
- Colorblind filters — protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia modes.
- Comes with a pre-made map: FINAL GAME.
