- Game Overview
Vatn Squid (Icelandic for water) is a short Bullet Hell Boss Rush Shmup made in a 48 hour period for the GameJolt Weekend Jam!

Contributers to the Project:
Heatex [http://gamejolt.com/profile/heatex/224/]
He helped design a majority of the play mechanics with me, and he also made the awesome music specially for the game!
IceWave [http://gamejolt.com/profile/icewave/709/]
He set the creative theme of underwater when he showed me the Vatn sprite he was making! He also codesigned on a lot of small details in the rush!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vatn Squid is compatible with XBox360 controllers! I personally recommend it if you have one, its a blast!

PLEASE NOTE:
By nature shmups are pretty difficult games. While I've made all of the effort to balance skilled shmuppers and newbies' play styles, this game is probably going to be VERY difficult for beginners, and fairly easy for seasoned veterans.

I like this game and I'm a big fan of bullet hells, but some bosses there are spots you can just sit in where you're always safe.
rotten_tater said 1 year ago
The safe spots are okay. They just mean that you won't get a fast time because you aren't absorbing bullets. It kind of allows you to take a break while you're playing too. :P

Very nice. Big bullet-hell fan. Spent my entire day on this >_>
Couldn't get under 2 mins (lowest I got was 2:06, or something like that). Found out how though, might try it some other day. 5/5, good work.

Quite a lot of fun. I'm not very good at them though, that's for sure!
