Review: Satellina Zero review – Bullet hell puzzling

August 11, 2016 - Uncategorized

2015’s red-yellow-green Satellina was far from a sedate casual puzzler, but more akin to the fast-paced evasion of a bullet hell game. Its simpler follow-up Satellina Zero also evokes the same twitchy thrills of bullet hell action, with neon flair and rhythm game flow.

While the first game gave you freedom to dodge through shifting patterns, Satellina Zero confines you to the bottom of the screen, much like an old-school shmup. But rather than evading the incoming patterns of blue and purple nodes, Zero challenges you to intercept and collect them.

Each collected node increases your score, while special nodes offer more points but challenge you to break your flow and rhythm for a higher score.

Tapping the screen shifts the state of the incoming nodes from empty purple to collectible blue, and letting just one past you ends your game.
