How it feels

A fast, frantic arcade shooter with tight 2D gunplay and cinematic moments that can be beaten in under an hour but rewards repeated runs with hidden paths and secrets.

What players say

Players praise Blitzstrike as a short, nostalgic run-and-gun platformer by a solo developer, but note there is only one boss fight and it can be frustrating due to lack of tells. The story, especially the ending, surprises many.
