Bullet♥︎

🎯 The Goal

Be the last heroine standing in a high-intensity firefight by clearing an oncoming curtain of bullets and passing them over to overwhelm your pponents before they do the same to you.

⚙️ Core Actions

Each round, players manage their own personal grid system and navigate through three fast-paced phases simultaneously:

• Place Bullets into your Sight: Blindly draw bullets from your current bag and place them onto your sight grid. Bullets drop a number of spaces down equal to their numerical value, skipping over occupied spots; if a bullet falls completely past the grid into your hitbox, you immediately lose a life.
• Manipulate the Grid with Actions: Spend your Action Points (AP) to move, slide, or rearrange bullets within your sight to avoid danger and set up combinations.
• Form and Execute Patterns: Match the exact configuration of bullets in your sight to the requirements on your hand of Pattern cards. Successfully matching a pattern clears those bullets, turning them face-down and sending them straight to the incoming area of the player to your left.
• Trigger Star Effects: Clearing bullets marked with a special star icon triggers immediate bonus effects across your action board, such as generating free, crucial extra AP to extend your turn.
• Survive the End Phase Intensity: Once your current bag is empty, draft a temporary Powerup card for future use and draw new patterns. Finally, draw a fresh batch of bullets from the communal center bag equal to the escalating value on the global Intensity Track to refill your pool for the next round.
