A downloadable game for Windows

A start-up version of a greater project to come this summer 2022! 

Altered Being is a retro arcade-style bullet hell designed by a fan of series like Touhou Project and Radiant Silvergun. Originally designed as a capstone project for college study, this is a blossoming passion project that's helped me do more learning about the intricacies of developing a great bullet hell game.

Story: A world distorted by [???]'s imagination

Someone's taken your friends, and taken them into this strange dream world where everyone's names, roles and capabilities are distorted to suit the whims of a strange hidden foe! Blast your way through waves of enemies while dodging bullet patterns to uncover the truth!

Mechanics

Press and hold Z to fire a curtain of bullets! With more P Energy, you'll be able to fire more shots, including homing projectiles that come in handy when you need to focus on dodging!

When you're in a pinch, press X to use a Burst that clears the screen and damages your enemies! It'll cost you a B Item though, so don't depend on them too much!

Use the arrow keys to move around! Holding Space will allow you to Focus, decreasing and visualizing your hurtbox while halving your movement speed, allowing for precise adjustments through heavy walls of bullets!

Coming soon...

- Bosses!

- More levels, and a brutal Extra stage!

- More hidden music, dialogue and lore!
