Read full description

Bug Strike is a portrait pixel bullet hell shooter set inside a world of code. Drag your ship, auto-fire, and thread through syntax bugs, infinite loops, and boss bullet patterns. Launch from Scratch, HTML/CSS, Python, and JavaScript, then fight across 13 programming-language-themed campaign stages. Each stage brings new enemies and a boss; every close dodge is a chance to build more firepower. Build your loadout with: - printf() fire, fork() twin shots, and spread() bursts - Piercing lasers, GOTO missile salvos, drone cores, and plasma rings - The rm -rf screen-clearing bomb when the pattern closes in Choose your challenge: - Campaign: follow the language map and defeat each boss - Hell: unlock it by clearing the Normal campaign; its progress is separate and its pressure is higher - Legendary: 6 one-life stages inspired by classic languages - Endless: test your survival as the waves keep escalating Play the first 4 campaign stages free and experience the complete core loop. A one-time in-app purchase permanently unlocks the remaining 9 campaign stages, the full Hell campaign, 6 Legendary stages, unlimited Endless mode, and the complete hangar. Purchases can be restored and your progress stays intact. No ads. No subscriptions. No paid power. An optional developer tip supports future development only; it unlocks no content and provides no gameplay advantage. Write your survival program. Strike every bug.
