About This Game

Bullet Banshee is a vertical shoot-'em-up built around roguelite item stacking. You fly

one ship up through 21 stages of an escalating war, spending what you kill on the items

that decide how the run ends. The screen only ever scrolls up. What you carry with you

changes every time. Beat the Sovereign at the top and Endless mode unlocks, letting the

ladder keep climbing past stage 21.

BUILD A GUN OUT OF PARTS

Draft from over 40 passive items, and stack them. A second Multishot is another bullet

in the fan; a fifth Poison is a debuff that outdamages your gun. Items don't replace each

other, they compound — Fork splits your shots sideways, Ricochet bounces what's left into

the next target, and Crit rolls on all of it. Find the combination that breaks the game

and ride it to stage 21.

MYTHIC TRANSFORMS

Every few levels the draft offers a Mythic item: a one-time upgrade that only appears if you

already own what it rewrites. Unishot collapses your entire Multishot fan into one round

carrying all its damage. Virulence trades poison's duration for instant damage. Bloodforge

turns every point of max HP into bullet damage. They don't add power so much as change

what your build is for.

TEN ACTIVE EQUIPMENTS

One equipment slot, one charge meter that fills as you kill. Blink through a wall of

bullets. Drop a black hole that swallows them. Fire a laser as tall as the screen, or a

chain of lightning that arcs until nothing is left in reach. Take a new equipment and the

old one drops back into the level, so the choice is always live.

A CROWDED SKY

Over 10 enemy types, hand-built into more than a hundred formations. Gnat swarms two dozen

strong. Turrets that rake a fan across the screen, laser stars that fire rings in every

direction, weavers that dive past on a fixed curve, steppers, splitters, dragonflies, and

battleships that park at the top and make you work around them. A Director assembles each

level from the pool, unlocking tougher combinations as the run goes deeper rather than

inflating health bars, so a stage 3 gunline and a stage 17 gunline are different fights

rather than the same one with bigger numbers.

Deeper runs start placing elites — each a separate fight with its own attacks and its own tell.

The Sovereign is waiting further up.

DIE, THEN COME BACK HEAVIER

Every run pays out Salvage, whether you cleared a stage or abandoned it. Spend it in the

hangar on permanent hull, charge, damage and starting-item upgrades — and unequip any of

them again if you want the clean run. Three ships, paint to match, and a set of

achievements that includes beating the game with none of it turned on.

MOD IT

The game loads mods from your user folder at boot. Drop in resource packs to override

anything, or loose `.tres` files to add your own spawn cards, ships and items to the

pools the game already draws from. A menu lists what loaded and what was refused, with

the reason.
