Buy Heavy Bullets

Simple yet stylish, First-Person, Rogue-like excitement. Not quite enough gameplay elements here to make me fall in love, but I do consider this game a good friend.

Textures? Who needs those. Leveling? What does that even mean? What this game excels in, is bringing you to laser focus upon rounding each new corner, and mechanics that encourage you not to look back.

Currently it has some glitchiness: there are many, many frame dropping freezes, especially when "seeing" an enemy after a lull in the action (I have actually lost my best run due to the game freezing my character and magically making my bullets go thru enemies, all at 4 fps).

With some consistent development, additions to the mechanics, and polishing out the bugs, this game could become a 5/5 Star beaut.

Best of luck to the stylin' dev(s).

Heavy Bullets. Where to start? At first, I'd like to say that this game is nothing for people who expect to finish the game within the first or second run. Death is permanent in this game and one of the essentials in the whole gaming concept itself. Once you're dead, you have to start the whole game again. However, the effects of death can be overcome by thinking of a clever strategy and planning in advance.

But what is this game even about? You start with a normal revolver filled with six heavy bullets and three bombs at the first level. The main mechanic of this game implies that you have to pick the bullets up in order to keep your revolver full to the brim. However, as you wander through the maze-like generated world, you encounter many sorts of enemies with their own and unique weak spots which you have to find out in order to make up your own way of beating the game. The game gets progressively harder and you'll be facing boss enemies at the fourth and the eigth level. Of course, you cannot beat them without proper preparation. That's when shops come in handy. You gain money by killing enemies, items by purchasing or finding them throughout the whole game (they can be both, passive or active) and special perks by upgrading your skills. With the right combination, you'll be able to finish even the worst enemies off.

This makes the game amazingly challenging. If it seems like you can't get past a level, you have to try harder. Don't stop until you have successfully beaten the stage. If you do stop however, then you're in bad luck because you may never get past said stage. The game forces you to play extended sessions which makes you come back for more. Furthermore, I do have the feeling like the game is adjusting to your style of playing since the more you play this game, the harder the earlier stages get. (If someone could verify said assumption, that'd be great.)

This is not just a FPS game where you are supposed to kill every enemy in sight. It's quite the opposite once the gears are running. With every death the game teaches you about the things you did wrong. Being in a tricky situation doesn't mean that the game's random generation is trying to outsmart your tactics, but you may want to think about a new strategy then.

The art style is very simplistic but still neat to look at which adds a bit of friskiness throughout the whole game itself. One thing I greatly acknowledge is the game's soundtrack. Although the game makes you think that you're in a serious situation considering that your inventory space is limited and you have to make choices wisely, the music emitted from the medbays, bullet shops and banks knocks you out of the skies and shows you that you may need a second to recover and think about how you're going to progress. It's not all about guns and bombs, you know?

However, there are a few minor bugs in this game which will (hopefully) soon get patched, but influence your way of playing heavily at some points. Sometimes, enemies recognize and attack you although you're not in plain sight (or/and if it's not declared in their attacking scheme), but hidden behind a wall. Sometimes, the game seems to lag out for a few frames periodically which can delay your actions significantly. However, like I said, those are minor bugs and will eventually get removed some time. They are no reason to consider not buying the game.

After all, I'd like to say that Heavy Bullets is a nice and refreshing twist for everyone who wants to take on a new challenge. The key to success is to never give up no matter how impossible a certain situation may seem. Everyone who thinks that this game is about blindly killing enemies is out of position. The game requires good reactions and a strategy to fulfill. If that sounds like your cup of tea, then this game is made for you.

The love child of the binding of isaac and counter strike

If you get this game, you will soon know the Hate and Fear that Snakes inflict upon Indiana Jones...Except, you aren't an archeologist; You are a Janitor. A Janitor navigating a seemingly LSD inspired Jungle Maze filled with Turrets, Snakes, and some other odd looking creatures. Who would put a Janitor through this?! Highrise Hunting Grounds...That's who...Atleast they leave things around to help you out, like a Boom box, and Highheels...?

This is a good game, rather fun and addictive due to its simplicity and randomization. It may feel odd if you aren't used to the old school FPS style, but it works well for this game. It isn't an overly long game, but one mistake could cost you the run. There are item pick ups among other things to find, which add an element of luck as well to your runs.

Hands down the best minimalistic game I have ever played. It's fun, its scary and its fast as hell. Every time you make it past a room a level or even a bomb bug (yes a frickin bomb bug) you have a little party in you head saying "hell yah!" Yeah its a small game but its hard and it doesnt FEEL hard. It's not a quality that it easy to explain.

To understand this, imagine you are running in a field of tall corn. It seems nice enough, and there is cool music on you ipod that your listening too. WHACK. A giant black beast just smacked you on the tushy and you promptly shoot an oversized bullet through it's nostril. Now you didn't know there was a butt-smacking monsters and you don't know how many more there are but you don't know how much more your butt cheeks can take. You DO know that the over-size booty-basher went down quick and you have a few more bullets. So grab hold of what yo mama gave you and get other side of this cornfield because the music is good, the graphics are appropriate and by the of this, you've shucked enough corn to call yourself a farmer.

I hope that made sense in some way and that anology did the trick. If not, buy the darn game and find out what I mean.

Epilepsy + 1980 = Heavy Bullets.

I love this game... IT'S SO DAMN COLOURFUL

(Also it has a superb gameplay system and mechanics, it's really good for a game of its kind)

Honestly heavy bullets is a fun game, but now for some details the turn mechanics and speed of your character are a little wierd but it's okay aswell as the unforgiving artwork and even know the game has it's flaws it's still fun here is some gameplay scenario.

*Spawned
*Shot bullets and realized that you can go and reuse them. :D
*Roamed for a while and complained about the controls.
*Saw an imp was all like "What the ---- is that?" it ran and hit me I shot it was injured.
*Last step repeated 2 times.
*1 and a half hearts left and raoming.
*Found a mine on a pedastal.
*Pressed space bar to use it.
*Got too close to the mine it blew up in your face.
*.5 hearts left.
*Run around looking for health.
*Kill an imp this time without losing health. :D
*See a turret.
*Shoot at the turret.
*Assume the turret cannot be killed.
*Die to turret.
*Realize there is a box beside it that might be it's weak spot.
*Respawn and go again.

Hope you liked the scenario. :D

First-Person Binding of Isaac. Really fun and an interesting concept.

I absolutely love this game. Everything is so colorful, and the randomization of the levels ensures that I never tire of playing. The best part of the game is that you'll never really beat it; there's always more to keep doing.

Nerve-wracking, immersive, and lots of fun.
Buy it if you're an FPS junkie who needs a single player game.

Slain thousands of monsters running at me, flying at me and creeping from behind corners.

...

To get killed by a camouflaged snake..

10/10 would play again.

Take the binding of isaac, make it a shooter, throw on plenty of neon colors, and you have Heavy Bullets.

Fast paced shooter/rogue-like where every shot counts. Try to make it through 8 floors of hell without dying. If you like FPS or Roguelikes then it's a must have at the price. Twitch skill required.

Well worth the buy.

I still delve into Heavy Bullets after owning it for months upon months.

Awesome atmosphere, easy to pick up, hard to put down.

Many items/secrets that enhance overall roguelike experience.

11/10

If you like first person shooters that are built to look like old polygonal acid trips into an underground blacklight safari then you'll like this game about shooting demons in a turret filled worm forest of NEON polygons.

The levels are randomized each time.
Permanent deaths make you play each game like it's your last.
The game teaches you to sweep like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SWAT team member.
Increasing difficulty and fatigue from multiple tries gives the game real challenge rather than frustration from bad controls or unbeatable foes that other games will give.

4.5 Zap Zone Monsters Out of 5

Love this game so much fun is very fst paced and reactions are needed but can also make you jump and really get you blood going love it awesome fun game

This is what I love about indie games, simplicity and great efficiency in creating a unique and captivating experience. Heavy bullet is to me like a procedural rogue-like dark/demon souls with that lovely balance of unforgiving torture but just enough is acheivable to create a balance of carrot and stick which combined with the simple concept of having to re use your bullets (like how you do as a kid with nerf guns) creates this constant tension because do you shout the enemy from afar and put your ammo at risk, or do you lure the enemy out to keepyour bullets close
9/10 (would be a ten however as much as I love the neon colour scheme it can sometimes be a little distracting)
