Heck Deck is a bullet hell card game where all the bullets are cards and time only progresses as you move. Explore 5 stages full of unique enemies and bosses, discover dozens of cards, and visit shops to buy and sell cards for health!Throughout 5 different stages, Heck Deck will challenge your precision and dexterity during the bullet hell phases and your strategy when using your cards. Each card you pick up will cost you at least one life point, so you will have to be careful about which ones you pick on your way.
The abstract and minimalist world of Heck Deck is created with a cute hand-drawn art style. Each level of the game has its own universe, its own music, its own set of enemies, and of course, its own boss.
Heck Deck main features:
• 5 different levels with their own music
• A cute hand-drawn art style
• One unique setting for each level
• Dozens of attacks and spells for the player
• Over 30 enemies and bosses
• A card purchase system via the shop
The strategy created by the use of cards mixed with the dexterity required during the bullet hell phases makes Heck Deck truly unique!

Combining bullet hell and card game sounds like an insane idea and I was curious how it could ever work, but now I'm hooked. Very well executed, cute little game, love the minimalist and wordless style. Not having any tutorial is an interesting choice because I felt kinda dumb at first but after some bumbling around, I feel a bit smarter. Feels very satisfying once you get a hang of it.

Alright game, has a fair amount of content, and is engaging enough to play several times over. There is a barrier for entry that eases in over the first level, ramping up afterward. It could do with further informative text on how certain mechanics work, especially the unlockable players. Suffers from optimization issues, as when several projectiles are spawned, it causes the game to freeze temporarily. The app also eats through battery life while not looking like much is happening.

So far a great and new experience. Maybe the tutorial could be better and if would be 5 stars from everyone. I had no problem with the game but I can understand people having a hard time understanding it.

I don't like this game very much, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it however. It is very unique in its own aspect with its gameplay, but I am not fond of the gameplay. It just feels like it moves too slow especially with the wonky turning (although I'll assume that's part of making the game challenging). I also don't like the inability to get offensive cards without taking damage, so it's like huh? I feel like the trade between healing and getting offensive cards is too slow of a process.

Unlike what these dorks say, the first level does a perfect job showing you exactly what you need to know. The whole beginning of the game is about experimentation; figuring out what certain cards do, learning how different enemies shoot, knowing whether you can touch something or not. However, I give 4 stars because the game needs a little more optimization. On my medium-end 2021 phone, it starts dropping frames whenever a single bomb explodes, even with particles disabled. It's a shame...

Really fascinating mix of bullet-hell shooter and deck builder. Time only passes while you're moving, bullets are cards but also damage you, and you run out of hand space if you collect too many which damages you as well. Your character has a fairly tight turning circle but can't change direction instantaneously. Very interesting and unique mix of resources to manage, the biggest of which is the cooldown on your cards. Recommended!

I got a new phone, and the game runs a lot better. I think my old phone has the same chip, so maybe the old phone was throttling performance or it was running it at high refresh rate mode. The controls still feel a bit unweildy, though, and the game can feel a little slow at times.

Why is the practice stage locked? The little finger guide isn't enough for a tutorial. It looks like it could be fun if you knew what you were doing.
