Game Loop
Design Pillars
Bullet Hell
The game is designed around player skill. Dodging and weaving around enemy attacks to reward players for getting skilled in the game. The better you can dodge, the better your chance of surviving.
Puzzle-Solving
Each boss has a unique quirk about them that makes them all battle differently. Players will have to figure out how to approach and take down each boss they come across.
Challenge
The sweetness of victory tastes only greater after enduring the bitterness of defeat. You can't expect your enemies to go easy on you. Prove yourself worthy through the challenge at hand, but don't get cocky.
Fairness
Challenge and fairness must go hand-in-hand. Nothing that is difficult is easy to overcome. However, nothing is designed to be impossible. Learn from your mistakes to outsmart your opponents.
The Trials of The Acute Triangle is designed similarly to existing games such as Ikaruga, Nier Automata, and the main Touhou games.
