Here is my attempt to create a bullet-hell-style shooter game:

> **[Blocky Boss Battle](https://arcade.makecode.com/69052-09321-39220-20264)**
>
> Made with ❤️ in MakeCode Arcade.

  
(old version: \_5qfcJU65egL6)

This simple bullet hell shooter is made purely with blocks (image is for old version):

 ![blocky_bullet_hell_shooter_code](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/1X/4e52c1faecfd9162f6d2860848829902d4970f0e.png)

It features:

- Enemy Life Bar
- 4 phases of basic bullet pattern motifs like aiming at player, multidirectional shots
- Slow movement mode for precise dodging

Introductions:

- Press arrow keys to move your player
- Press A to shoot
- Hold B to stay in slow movement mode
- It takes 12 hits to proceed to the next phase
- When the boss life falls to zero, the player wins.

Give it a try. Change the patterns. Have fun!

Wow, this is incredibly good, great job! I love the different phases of the fight, and that each attack pattern felt just right in bringing its own challenge to dodge.

This is a amazing game and I love it. At first I tried and failed horribly and when I used a auto clicker well lets say in 10 seconds flat I won.

Review ⬇

> **Objective description:**
>
> Blocky Boss Battle is a bullet hell style boss fight, with a custom made status bar and 5 different boss stages. The player has 20 lives, each getting depleted when the player touches the projectiles. The boss dies when you bring his health to 0.

> **Personal opinion:**
>

This game is an incredibly fun bullet hell bossfight that can be infinitely replayed without losing any of it’s charm. With only a few simple sprites, it makes up for it with extremely amusing gameplay. The boss movement and attacks are very well made and the game itself is pretty hard to master. Beating it many times is a breeze, but finishing with 100% health really is a challenge.

> **Suggested improvements (for the author)**
>
> There isn’t much to improve here, as the game is very entertaining already.

(numeric score has been removed due to “violating MakeCode guidelines” (apparently))

@henrym am I able to borrow this for my Dark vs. Light Game Series? I’ll give you the credit for the boss fight, don’t worry 😁

If you say yes, this is what I’ve made of it so far:

I want it to be the FINAL BOSS in my game.

In other words, it need to be AVIDLY ARDUOUS, ABSOLUTELY AWESOME, and, ADMIRINGLY ADDICTIVE. The three A’s for final bosses. It CANNOT be a final boss without the three A’s.

So? What do you think?

Sure. Go ahead.

Two points:

- You may want to implement hitboxes to compensate for the larger ninja star bullets.
- Random teleporting may bring the boss close to the player, resulting in huge damage on the player. You may need to do some checking.

Oh… yeah you have a point with the ninja stars.

And with the teleporting… hmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

Hmmmmmmmmm… I like the teleporting…

Ok here’s what I’ll do I’ll change the random teleporting to pick random between 1 and 120 for the x, and 1 to …… 90! 1 to 90 for the y. 😁
