◉ Ball Bulét started in the spring of 2022 as a Big One, an academic project by AIV - Accademia Italiana Videogiochi aimed at adding a production experience to the teaching carried out in the various courses, from the creation of the game concept to commercial publishing.
The objective of the Big Ones is to give students the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from other courses in the development of a video game project in which everyone can put the skills acquired during the lessons to the test and at the same time perfect their soft skills. ◉

Ball Bulét is an isometric, bullet hell, twin-stick shooter. In the game, you navigate various levels by defeating enemies using a sphere that can bounce off walls and opponents. Hitting more enemies at once will boost your gained score.

SHE FIGHTS....WITH A BALL?!

Your only weapon is "the Sphere", a simple ball capable of bouncing against every surface without taking damage, fused with a special magnet that lets it float on air and come towards you when you switch the magnet on your arm.
Why did you invent it? I'm not sure, and this is probably why the company fired you, taking all your old projects with it....except one they considered “useless” and that will determine their end.

THEY KNEW YOU WERE COMING

Crashing against the entrance with a hover car is not the stealthiest way to infiltrate, but sure it’s the coolest!!
The security guards had the green light to shoot on sight, and all units were set to max alert from that coward of a CEO.
Fight against unusual enemies that will not go easy on you.
Evade rockets, jump over lasers, dodge sniper shots, duel against Cyber Samurais, and get revenge on your ex-employer for stealing all you worked on.

IT'S NOT JUST A BALL...

Get your Sphere(TM) some treats for its good work! Search for the power-ups scattered across the map and surprise your enemies with special attacks combining those powers with your aim.

REACH THE TOP!

Reach the last floor of this titanic skyscraper, explore the offices, and the laboratories, or take a break at the company’s sauna.
