The Bullet Hell With Absolutely FLAWLESS Game Design
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- In today's episode I talk about my favorite Bullet Hell game of all time, Ikaruga and how it makes me feel a "certain" way. Ikaruga's design is essentially flawless with every piece of it working to be a perfectly balanced, hard as nails shoot 'em up. Very few games can truly be called perfect, but because Ikaruga is such a short experience it manages to use it's short run time to make each facet of it's design as perfect as possible.

There's barely any videos about bullet hell game design on youtube thanks for making one. Especially since you picked Ikaruga
Yeah I looked for it but it seems most game design channels don’t really touch on bullet hells so I wanted to
"The Electric Underground" channel.
@@SlightlyInDepthGaming I was looking into making a bullet hell game and ran into the same issue. I wonder if the genre has either been stagnant or underground for too long in the US? Like, maybe the lack of design info comes from a lack of innovation
Oh!!! There’s also an EXCELLENT two player TAS of this game.
Wait I didn’t even know you could play this co-op
Love the vids. I'm waiting for this channel to blow up.
tbh right from the get got I know you don't know shmups all that well. Ikaruga is anything but "standard bullet hell". It barely qualifies for what the broadest definition of bullet hell is. Its polarity mechanic is like nothing else in the genre and shapes the gameplay to such extend that it plays like no other shmup. And it's not only that. The level design differs from shmups and especially bullet hell games A LOT. It focuses on set pieces, it is way more tight and does allow way less freedom of movement, espeicially when you start score chasing. Calling it "standard bullet hell" is like calling SUPERHOT a standard FPS.
This was hilarious. You should have waaaaay more subs.
Well even if it is on the last day of the month you can’t say I don’t do monthly uploads. Also we made it to 500 subs which I’m super excited about, I can’t wait to figure out a 500 subscriber special.
man this channel is ultra underrated, hope it blows up soon
i'm sorry for i may not be able to summarise my thoughts in a short and readable comment, because i am not sure about what to say and i am not an english native speaker.
1st: i reeeeeally like the titles you show and talk about (i play smash, want to play omori, and i'm still trying to finish ikaruga etc.)
2nd: nice scripts (the best i can describe it is that you talk about things that i thought about but have not delved deeper into or shared with friends)
3rd: the mastery topic you often put in your videos is very relatable.
4th but it's the 2nd part two: this kind of videos are a way to understand our gamer-selves, so it's nice stuff.
i'm tempted to say that your channel is for me.
P.S.
there aren't enough videos that make ikaruga justice so super extra bonus golden points that can change polarity and have a timer.
The racism joke caught me off guard.
I knew this would be Ikaruga even before looking at the ship in the thumbnail :)
I mean what other bullet hell is perfectly designed
Ikaruga is goated
Appreciate this vid. Like another comment said there are not many bullet hell game design junks. Making a bullet hell game rn and this helped for some perspective.
I'm watching this because i saw your comment in dunkeys tlou2 comments video
It was pretty good publicity I’ve gotta admit

This game is literal hell.
I play touhou so I guess I can be considered a bullet hell gamer
