Graze
Dodge candy-colored bullet storms in a pastel sky and brush past shots to graze for points, then survive the pattern-cycling Storm Flower every fourth phase.
Graze is a pastel bullet-hell survival game where getting close is the whole point. Your petal ship has a tiny white hitbox, so you can slip through gaps that look impossible, and every bullet that brushes the dotted ring around you counts as a graze. Grazes build a chain that multiplies their value, so the bravest pilots score the most.
The sky starts calm with one slow flower emitter, then a new phase begins every 22 seconds. Each phase unlocks more patterns, from rotating rings and triple spirals to aimed fans, curving flower petals, scrolling walls with a single gap and accelerating bursts, and more emitters bloom at once. Every second phase grants a bloom bomb that clears the screen, and every 150 grazes restores a life. Every fourth phase the Storm Flower takes the stage and cycles through all seven patterns for twenty seconds; outlast it for a big bonus, an extra life and a bomb. Your best score, best phase and bloom rank are saved.
It is made for players who love shoot-em-up dodging and tight, precise movement, without needing to aim. Tip: hold focus to slow your ship and the world slightly when threading dense patterns, and save bombs for walls you cannot squeeze through.
How to play
Move your petal ship to dodge bullets; only the tiny white dot in its center can be hit. Bullets passing through the dotted ring around you count as grazes and score points, and chained grazes multiply them. Survive phases of growing bullet patterns and the Storm Flower boss every fourth phase. Use a bloom bomb to clear the screen. You have three lives.
