Deflect

What is Deflect

Deflect is a bullet hell of your own creation, where your enemies are your weapons. Enemies can only be killed when colliding with enemies you hit. New enemies spawn every 8 beats, indicated by the red ring. Your health is indicated by the white ring and the red option wheel is the enemy you have chosen to spawn next. Your objective is to simply survive for as long as possible

About the Developer and the Game

This is a small game I created with very simple graphics and focusing more on the gameplay. Recently, I have noticed that in the Indie market, it seems to a be a lot more efficient to develop replay-able game such as roguelikes or arcade games and thus I have decided to shift my design choices in that direction. Deflect is my first Arcade/Rogue-like-ish game so I was able to learn quite a bit, especially on how to utilize my resources fully such as graphics, music and time.
