Bullet Hell

Controls Goal: dodge the boss’s dense bullet patterns while your ship fires automatically, and take the boss down. You score 1 point for every shot that hits the boss plus 50 for each boss defeated; higher ranks higher. You have 3 lives and the game ends when they are gone. Controls: with a mouse or finger, drag across the board and the ship moves by the same amount (relative movement — your finger never covers the ship). On a keyboard use the arrow keys or WASD; on a small screen hold the ▲◀▼▶ buttons below. Shots fire by themselves every 0.1 seconds. Tips: only the small white dot at the centre of the ship can be hit, so you can slip through narrow gaps — watch the dot, not the ship. Red ring bullets spread slowly while orange ones are aimed at you. From the second boss a pink spiral is added, and each new boss is tougher and faster. A close shave is marked with sparks and a sound (no points). When you are hit every bullet on screen disappears and you are invulnerable for 2 seconds. A boss neither shoots nor takes hits for a moment after it appears. Press P or Esc to pause. Your first input starts the game.
