ULTRA HELL
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
ULTRA HELL is a prototype game that I was developing in my free time a little while back. The game is unpolished, unbalanced, unforgiving, and, more often than not, flat out unfair. I am not currently working on it, but may revisit it in the future.
Thanks!
Basic Tips:
1. Kill big enemies faster for more points. Points let you level up, which will upgrade your characters in various ways.
2. Play aggressively, but not too aggressively. Enemies will stack up if you don't kill them fast enough, and you'll get overwhelmed.
3. GUNZ can dash/ glide by pressing space and EDGE can teleport to his thrown katana. Use these movement abilities wisely to both evade and chase after enemies.

awesome game! i didn't get very far but i'm having a ton of fun
where are sounds?
I used AI to create an icon and a cover for the game because Playnite didn’t have anything for them. Heck, I even made the background and the death screen
Please learn English
Why am I getting so much hate? I honestly don’t know what I did wrong. Wow, English isn’t my native language—how dare I speak it, right? Sorry if my sentences aren’t perfectly coherent, but if it bothers you that much, just don’t read my comments
please
Very cool fun game i wish could try and make music and sound effects for it
It's a fun game, but I'm not completely sold on it because it really needs sound effects like gunshots or some background music. Other than that, it's a good game.
Bro, you need to put some more work on it
The gamepley is simple, the graphics are simply beautiful and the mechanics are fun, it definitly need a soundtrack but that is easily soved by opening DOOM sountrack in a other window
this is the best game ever real
for anyone who still remembers this game and wants something similar
try checking out "Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved"
its only $6 (AUD) on steam
The game runs really slowly on my laptop. I thought it was just part of the game till I watched the trailer and read some comments
you can get it on 840 x 480 and it will be so much faster
(20 fps faster for me)
This game is super cool i love it please update or do something soon
is there an option to limit fps? i'm on a super computer and
the game is way too fast for me.
how can I play with my controller on Mac? somehow it works on my windows computer to see primary and secondary input in the Input section before starting the game but on my Mac I can't change the settings at all in order to play with my DualShock controller, also somehow I can't dash or throw my katana with any button on my controller when I play the katana guy
Sorry, controllers don't work properly, you will have to use mouse and keyboard
its not that its not working with GUNZ for example. Its Just that i cant See primary Input for Controller on the mac version but Not on the windows one. By the way, the Game is awesome ^^
New version when? Please i'm waiting for over a year now!
Sorry, no longer working on this game!
I'm working on something new that is similar to Ultra Hell, if you would like to help test it
Test a game that's similar? Sure why not lol.
thats sad:(
Amazing, the graphics and juiciness are mouth-watering! Too bad I don't have a mouse and can only play on a trackpad. :I
Thanks!
Long time no update. Still kicking around, I hope?
No longer working on Ultra Hell anymore, but I'm glad you checked back up on it though!
I'm still making games, but development is slow since it's just a hobby for me. Here's a clip of what I'm working on now, it's kind of a chaotic mashup of super crate box and a crystal defense game:

SO SO SO SO SO SO... etc AMAZING!
Thanks!
The version here on itch is pretty old. If you want to help test the new version, please email me at mustardbucket1234@gmail.com
eh, i'll wait for the release, but thanks for asking!
Sorry to bother, but how can I contact you personally?
And yeah, I asked you if you'd be releasing this on Steam. I just read the description correctly :-P
Oh hey, sure!
Email me at mustardbucket1234@gmail.com if you want to contact me.
Your game is really fun and is only going to get better. I got one of my friends addicted to it already.
Wow, this game is really awesome! I love the graphics and the gameplay, and the characters' abilities are really cool too. I would definitely continue with this game, it has a lot of potential! My only complaint is that sometimes I click out of the game window; perhaps you could use a confined cursor mode?
Thanks!
I've been working on the game quite a bit recently, and the game should be a lot better now.
Haven't been updating the game in a while since I'm changing quite a bit of stuff. I want to try to go for a bigger update this time since the previous updates were really just incremental.
I may add a confined cursor mode as a separate option, but not in the near future since I'm going to be focusing on gameplay first. I usually test my game in fullscreen so it might be a good idea to add in an option for a confined cursor mode.
the roguelike community massacre
I see you like Devil Daggers :p
This is great, would be amazing with sound.
Really well designed for a prototype, I'd definately go further with this. Lack of sound effects hold it back quite a bit. Even just bfxr placeholders would be better than nothing. (https://www.bfxr.net/)
The latest update seems to have broken compatibility with the itch.io front-end launcher, giving a "Not available on Windows" error. Any chance of a fix?
Oops. Thanks for pointing it out! It should work now since I marked it as windows compatible.
That got it, thanks! Really enjoying the new laser-fighter too. :)
Finished the first boss. I couldn't survive the swarm for too long, though. Can't blink for a second in this game.
i looooove this!
I got to 70 seconds after a few tries. I'm just confused about the size of the characters, probably because my eyes are drawn to the green circle. Love the game! I will definitely keep playing this in short bursts while in queue for some competitive games.
Thanks for the feedback!
I want to keep the game relatively difficult, but not impossible.
The next patch will probably make the first boss a bit harder since I feel he is a bit weak right now.
Its really fun (even though I couldn't get very far, don't think I've even reached a boss yet). Its one of the most polished games I've seen on itch and I get a real rush when playing edge and jumping around the level slashing anything near. It starts lagging though when more enemies are in the area, but other than that I would definitely buy this game if you ever publish this on steam :)
Thanks! The game will give you a warning sign when you reach the first boss, and the boss is significantly larger than any normal enemy, so I think it would be pretty obvious. if you reached him or not
any possibility for the mac build :)?
Later, game is still an early prototype
I think it'll be better if there were some music
Me too
This game is so much fun! I love it!
Fast-paced and intense gameplay!
Tight gunplay/swordplay, nice AI. Love it!
Thanks!
Beat the 1st boss at around the 70 sec mark on my first try. I had a blast, Are you still working on this? I would def buy this on steam.
By working on it i mean looking for someone to make music my friend knows how and is teaching me. i would like to try and make something.
Sorry, I'm in contact with a few professional music producers.
If you want though, send me a SoundCloud or Behance so I can listen to your works
Thanks
Yeah I'm still working on this!
Good job on beating the boss on your first try, it takes some people over 30 minutes to get that far haha. It may release with more content on Steam for around 1.99, but for now it's free
Do you normally play bullet hell games like this?
With a highscore of about 30 after about 20 atempts, I still had a ton of fun. This manages to do something that allot of games fail at, and that's the fact that this is an extremely challenging game, but you don't rage, you have fun. And because it's hard, when you finally do well you feel a sense of pride and acomplishment. I had a ton of fun and I would definetly recommend this game to a friend.
