SPLIT BULLET is a game all about 'splitting up' a massive crowd of enemies—yes, those polygons—crawling towards you. Don't let 'em get you and survive as long as you can, by using your instincts and weapons.
The game tasks players with using their mouse to aim and fire a continuous stream of bullets, taking down a massive crowd of polygon-based enemies crawling towards them. The objective is to survive as long as possible by utilizing various weapons and instincts to defeat the onslaught.
Instead of moving, players must rely solely on their aiming and shooting abilities to ward off the incoming enemies. This lack of movement adds an extra layer of challenge, forcing players to quickly adapt to the enemies' movement patterns and spray bullets in the correct directions.
When fired, the player's bullets split and spread out in multiple directions, creating a larger area of coverage to take down the swarming enemies. Optimizing these shot patterns is a key part of the game's strategy, as players must learn to maximize damage.
The game features a variety of weapons, including a powerful minigun that can quickly shred through large groups of enemies. While the minigun is considered overpowered by some, the different options still provide strategic depth in managing ammunition and choosing the right tool for the situation.
As players progress through the stages, the difficulty increases significantly, introducing more complex enemy types and patterns. This forces players to constantly refine their reflexes and shooting skills to survive the increasingly chaotic onslaught. The 'Endless Mode' also provides an excellent challenge for players looking to test their limits.
The combination of minimalistic visuals, pulsing audio cues, and the visceral feeling of shredding through hordes of enemies creates an addictive, arcade-like experience. The score-based nature and the drive to beat personal high scores further contribute to the game's compelling gameplay loop.
