Exaltator Nil

A short Roguelite Bullet Hell shooter, made for Boss Rush Jam 2024.

Never yielding. Constant struggle. Perpetual re-imagining of that which never happened. The Sea of Data holds within itself each and every secret, if you are daring enough to dive into it...

Trade your Life for Power by picking through a random selection of Overclocks. Wage war against Multi-part Bosses to destroy the remnants of an opposing system. Dive deep into the Mainframe, and find the purpose for which you were built.

Featuring:

• 16 boss fights, with gradually escalating difficulty.
• 4 Weapon archetypes with 6 power levels, for a total of 24 weapon sets. Each weapon type has its purpose and suits different strategies.
• A wide selection of Overclocks to take after every battle, ranging from minor bonuses to game-breaking weaponry.
• Immaculate game balancing by a Sleep-deprived Rabbit.
• Soundtrack fresh from the Digital Ocean, made by Cybershroom.

Made in ~3 weeks for Boss Rush Jam 2024. There are a lot of unimplemented mechanics, and there will certainly be bugs. We hope you enjoy, regardless.
