Made for Bullet Hell Jam 7 (with the theme of “Shrink”), this bullet hell features a fun gimmick where the window shrinks while you do not. The window acts as your playing area so bullets are made harder to dodge and your view of the game worsens overtime.

To counteract this, yellow orbs are periodically scattered around the arena which you can collect by moving into them. Once collected, you may choose to either shrink to keep up with the window and dodge easier, however you slow down as your speed is relative to your size, or enhance the window and get a better view of the game. Your playing area size never grows back, all enhancing does is zoom in though.

Meanwhile, you must damage the boss by firing bullets at it. You can choose to upgrade your weapon as well which increases your damage and bullet size. The longer you take, the more frequent and difficult the boss’ attacks become, so you must not linger for too long or it may become impossible to dodge.

The boss features 3 phases with a new attack introduced in each one that combines with the last. Its health bar and your health / inventory are shown in separate windows that are found at the top and bottom of your screen. The starting window size will adjust to your screen size.

You are given 3 lives but if you find this too difficult, you can disable death in the settings of the title screen to still enjoy the game.

Controls:

• Movement - WASD
• Attack - Hold left click and aim with cursor
• Shrink - E
• Enhance - Q

This is my 2nd ever game made on a regular game engine and first for a game jam. I would also not recommend spamming enhance to the point it covers your whole screen.

Master volume is currently set quite low by default which is unintended. You can adjust this in settings and I will fix this once the jam finishes.
