Pattern Survivors: Bullet Hell (Roguelike) is a dynamic action game where you take control of your space tower and design your own attack patterns to fend off hordes of enemies!
🛠️ How to Play – Jump into the action in 3 seconds — no tutorials, no waiting, just play!
1️⃣→ Add a probe/emitter
2️⃣→ Configure the probe/emitter in a simple editor using sliders
3️⃣→ Press the "Start Battle" button and watch the effects!
Unlike classic bullet hell shooters, here YOU decide what your attack looks like. Place emitters/probes, configure patterns using sliders, and create unique bullet sequences to dominate the battlefield! You can modify your attack patterns in real time, adjusting your strategy for each new wave of enemies.
For each wave you defeat, you earn experience points — level up and choose from powerful upgrades that enhance your tower or emitters!
⚔️ Sample Upgrade System:
Tower Reinforcement – increases your tower’s maximum health.
Emitter Spikes – damages enemies that get too close to your emitters.
Electric Aura – shocks enemies near the tower.
Reflective Shield – some damage is reflected back at enemies.
Railgun – a powerful energy beam that pierces everything in its path.
Emitter Fortification – turns your emitters into obstacles that block enemy movement.
Auto-Repair – your tower automatically regenerates health.
🚀 Game Modes:
Normal – classic survival mode.
Story – discover the mystery of the space station and learn the origins of the attack patterns.
Survival – endless waves of enemies to test your skills.
Sandbox – play with patterns and test any setup without limits.
✨ Game Features:
Controller support (gamepad), mouse and keyboard, etc.

Auto-battler but you have special skills that affect the game — mines, time slowdown, sniper shot, and more. Use them with keyboard shortcuts and aim at enemies/levels.
Time control (speed up or slow down, play the way you like)
Bullets can have different patterns and colors, e.g. pink.
"Save and Quit" system hibernates the game so you can play another game on Steam, then return at any time. Or, for example, if you need to eat dinner, you can leave and come back later, then select "Continue" from the menu.
Create your own fighting style and prove you can survive the chaos of bullet hell patterns!
