Bullet Boy

in: The Dungeon of Castle Shieldenstein!


In a land of sentient weapons, to be born a gun is heresy symbolizing the end times!

Bullet Boy's life has been fraught with danger in this harsh reality... and Baron Shieldenstein order of imprisonment is no exception!

In the depths of the his dank dungeon, Bullet Boy plots his escape... and hatches a master plan!!

Shoot stuff until it stops moving!!!

Escape the Dungeon of Castle Shieldenstein by blasting your way free! Keep an eye out for bullets, as they are precious few in this land. Bullet Boy stores them in his body, and shrinks as he shoots, becoming smaller and faster! will you horde bullets to never be caught with an empty chamber, or forgo them for speed and nimbleness? How many bullets do YOU need to defeat Baron Shieldenstien? 


Gameplay:

Fight enemies as you advance from room to room, health is limited and bullets are sparse. Each bullet you have makes you larger and slower, but you can't shoot enemies without them! you can pick up bullets you've fired from the ground to reuse them (Don't tell Bullet Boy that's not how bullets work). Each room is harder than the last, and at the end of the dungeon Baron Shieldenstein awaits you!
