What is the Game?

Our entry into the Bullet Hell Jam 2023 is a PvP based bullet hell called "8-Bit Blitz" inspired by games like Bloons TD Battles. Once players start the game the players will have to dodge increasingly faster waves of bullets, however those are not the only things that they have to worry about! Players can send certain attack patterns over to their opponents.

Ok, But How Does This Fit the Theme?

8-Bit Blitz Fits into the "Limited" Theme of the game jam by limiting what type of attacks as well as how many attacks players can send. This is done by require a cost to each attack (See Below). We also decided to incorporate the "Limited" theme into our art by using a small Color Palette!

How Do I Play?

We Recommend Using Something Like Parsec to play it with friends!

8-Bit Blitz is a local multiplayer game that uses two sides of the keyboard, Make sure it's in Fullscreen! The blue player will use WASD to move around their own play area and use Q and E, respectively, to select which attack they want to use. The red player uses IJKL to move their player and uses U and O to select their attack. Blue Player will use Left Shift to activate their attack and Red Player will use / to activate their attack.

The players will have 5 options of attacks to choose from, as well as an attack modifier. They will have the options of Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal Right, Diagonal Left and Spiral attacks. The first two will cost 2 coins, the Diagonals and the Spiral will cost 3 coins. Lastly, they can activate a modifier. The final slot is a laser modifier that will turn all of the attacks that the player sends into lasers for 2 more coins.
