Graze Storm
A bullet-hell with no guns: weave through candy-colored bullet patterns, graze shots to score and charge your BLAST meter, then wipe the screen and survive every storm and tempest.
Graze Storm flips the classic bullet hell around. You fly a tiny ship that cannot shoot, so the only way to score is nerve. Bullets that pass very close to you count as grazes, each one adds points and charges the BLAST meter, and long chains of grazes multiply the reward. Fill the meter and one press of BLAST turns every bullet on screen into sweet little orbs that fly straight into your ship.
The sky is a soft porcelain-and-candy canvas, which makes the outlined pink, blue, orange, violet and mint bullets easy to read. Each storm brings new emitters with their own patterns: spirals, expanding rings, aimed fans, curling flowers, falling rain, laser beams that lock onto your position after a warning, and later double spirals and cross bursts. Storms get denser and faster, and every fifth storm is a Tempest, a large core firing rotating arms and heavy rings for 22 seconds. Survive it for a big bonus and an extra life.
This is a bullet-hell action game for players who enjoy precise movement and risk-reward scoring. Lifetime XP ranks you from Drifter to Unshakeable and unlocks perks like a wider graze radius, a half-charged meter at the start and an extra life. Tip: hold focus to slow down and see your hitbox, which also charges the meter faster.
How to play
Move with WASD or the arrow keys, or with the left thumb stick on touch screens. Hold Shift or X (the FOCUS button on touch) to move slowly and show your tiny hitbox; only the white core can be hit. Pass close to bullets and lasers to graze them for points and to charge the BLAST meter. When the meter is full, press Space or the BLAST button to clear every bullet on screen and collect them as points. Each hit costs a life and clears nearby bullets. Survive each storm for a bonus; every fifth storm is a Tempest that restores a life if you outlast it. The run ends when all lives are gone.
