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.
