Bullet hell roguelite Mr. Sparkle’s Nightmare hits Steam later this year
Zillo Games will deliver their new bullet hell roguelite later this year.
Mr. Sparkle’s Nightmare will be released on PC (via Steam) this summer. A release date will be unveiled soon. An announcement trailer can be seen here.
A synopsis for Mr. Sparkle’s Nightmare reads:
In this dark and gory action-packed Bullet Hell Roguelite you will play as a terrified wizard cat, stuck in a children’s book gone wrong. Mr. Sparkle’s Nightmare features a spell crafting system that lets you combine runes into entirely new spells and effects. Add the Feral Volley and Kaboom Paw to Fireclaw to create a close-range explosive shotgun blast, or fuse the Claw and Cloning Kittens with Cat’s Eye Laser, to unleash long-range claw-spawning beams that pierce through groups of enemies. Beware though; no build will save you as movement mistakes are punished brutally, keeping every encounter tense and unforgiving.
Beyond its deep spell crafting, the game delivers everything fans of Enter the Gungeon and The Binding of Isaac expect: Dense bullet hell patterns, procedurally generated runs, meta progression, and relentless waves of inventive enemies that demand precision and quick decision-making.
A demo for Mr. Sparkle’s Nightmare is available on Steam right now here.
