Hi! I’m Babsi Bullet:, half twelve-year-old girl, half bullet.
I’m the main character in this game that mixes 2D-shooter action with casual game
mechanics... and there’s a little Metroidvania in there, too!

Join me on a strange and desolate planet as I waste some evil aliens who are up
to no good!

I have a superpower: I can shoot myself at any enemy with the power of a bullet! Sounds like thwarting baddies would be easy, right? Wrong!

Firing in all directions like a gun-toting chimpanzee on steroids won’t cut it. Bullets may be fast, but they’re not known for being graceful, so I need to be careful about what I shoot myself at, what obstacles may be in the way, and what position I’ll be in after hitting my target. I’ve got to kill smart, not hard, and use each level’s design to my advantage if I’m to save the day.

Of course I can’t do this alone. I’ll need you to join me in Babsi Bullet, where we can put my powers to the test. Good luck!
