BEST PLAYED ON GZDOOM 4.0.0 OR BETTER! If using anything lower, do not enable Score Mode or you may experience crashes. (Unless you are using the Dev version)
Hello, sir or madam. Do you long for the days of old where the console wars focused on things like pixel graphics, and something about megabits and chips of the 8 to 16 to 32 variety? Well then look no further! Throw away all those toasters you put on your head claiming to be the answer to virtual reality! Dispose of those 'games' that could pass off as modern art pieces with their 16 different shades of brown! (and gray, but not 50) From here on out, you get to play the games...ON A CARTRIDGE! You HAVE seen the games, right?
You: *duuuh huh huh*
Wrong answer. SHOW 'EM!
BULLET-EYE! An arcade/SNES style adventure!
DOWNLOAD NOTE: Adjust the damage/defense sliders to your liking before playing, or you may find yourself dealing no damage. (Default is 1.0 for both damage and defense)
Be sure to read the controls below or press F1 during gameplay to view them. You can also select 'Manual' from the main menu.

WEAPONS:
Bullet-Eye holds a variety of unique and wacky weapons, all with their own upgrades! To upgrade a weapon, simply pick up another of the same type, and the system will do the rest of the work. But remember, citizens, your previous weapon will be dropped upon picking up your new beat stick! You can hold up to three different weapons, and swapping a weapon is achieved by selecting the weapon you want to switch out. Don't forget to press 'Use Inventory' to view information about your current weapons/sub-weapon, and equipment! You will never be harmed by your own weapons and they require no ammo to fire, so blast away!
All primary weapons are categorized into one of 6 families. Each weapon family has its own strengths and weaknesses. There is no limit to how many weapons in one family you can hold, but in some situations, it may be best to balance out your arsenal!
- Green Weapon Capsule - High rate of fire with drawbacks being weaker firepower and slight inaccuracy.
- Red Weapon Capsule - High firepower, but small clip size and longer reload time.
- Blue Weapon Capsule - Excellent for crowd control situations, but range is limited.
- Purple Weapon Capsule - Requires more involvement for optimal usage, but effective when mastered.
- Yellow Weapon Capsule - Tracks targets with ease, but cannot gain Bullet-Eye energy from kills.
White Weapon Capsule - Shortest range, but requires no reloading. Changes Ability functions.Here are just some of the weapons you can find in Bullet-Eye:
Spitfire - Fires as fast as you can pull the trigger.
Spread Shot - Fires a spread of projectiles in a burst. Every time a projectile hits an enemy, it is cloned into two more shots at an angle.
Buster - Fires at a medium range and explodes in place. Hold fire to charge the weapon and launch an empowered shot. Costs 5 ammo.
Blaze Stream - Emits short range streams of flames. Damage is greater the closer you are to an enemy.
Dogfighter Missile - Launches small homing missiles that fire at enemies.
Crush Blast - Fires a powerful laser. Firerate is increased while airborne.
Scrap Launcher - Launches out scrap in a spread. Alt-fire launches a chain to pull in enemies.
Quick Strike - Strike enemies in melee. Alt-Fire unleashes charge attacks.SUB-WEAPONS:
SHOOT YOUR SUB-WEAPONS! Use alt-fire, you BIG DUMMEH! With Sub-Weapons, you can gain Bullet-Eye Energy from successful hits, and they also have an increased chance to cause enemies to flinch.
Below are some Sub-Weapons that can be found:
- Mag Shurikens - Attempts to home in on enemies when in close proximity.
- Energy Claws - Unleash a series of slashes.
- Cross Mine - Deploy a mine which explodes in a cross pattern when enemies are in range.
- Scatter Bombs - Throw a cluster of bombs.EQUIPMENT:
Find helmets, gloves, boots, and armor from fallen enemies or in other places and carry them for beneficial effects, such as increasing the maximum Bullet-Eye Energy capacity, or increasing the duration and power of Strike Orbs!
BULLET-EYE MODE:
Defeat enemies to gain energy! Once you have enough, the Bullet-Eye emblem will appear and upon pressing the Zoom key, your weapon will switch to a massive rapid firing weapon which can easily clear groups of enemies. Enemies slain in this mode restore health and have an increased chance to drop Weapon Enhancers as well. You will also gain all Strike Orbs when entering Bullet-Eye Mode! You can exit out of Bullet-Eye mode by pressing the Zoom key once again, but you will lose some Bullet-Eye Energy upon doing so.
EQUIPMENT LOCK:
Tired of accidentally picking up a weapon you don't want? A sub-weapon you would rather not grab is blocking your path in a narrow hallway? Then Equipment Lock is for you! Simply press UserKey1/WeaponState1 and all your troubles will vanish without a fight! (Today we celebrate - our Independence Day!) While Equipment Lock is active, you will not pick up any weapon, sub-weapon, or equipment unless it is of the same type currently in your possession, or if you currently do not own an item for that specific slot. You will know when the system is active when your weapons and sub-weapon have teeny tiny locks on them. If you change your mind and want to grab all the powerups you can attempt to carry, just hit the same key and it will be disabled!
DENIZENS OF BULLET-EYE:
- An item capsule you can destroy to provide either health or sub-weapon ammo. It also prioritizes health drops when you are at 30% health or below! Yup, it's a denizen.
- Weapon capsules that hold a primary weapon within. The color of the capsule equates to which weapon family is inside. Collect them all!* *Note: You cannot actually carry them all.
- Rescue survivors to get a health bonus, some Sub-Weapon Ammo, and Bullet-Eye Energy! Do you mind if they pay you in gum? Note: The Survivors are not just heads!
- Energy Screens block all damage done to you as long as the shield holds. You can also find Partial Energy Screens from some enemies that have half the capacity of normal Energy Screens. You're gonna need 'em!SomeDoomMonstersHead.tga - SOME default Doom monsters! OH MAN!
- Strike Orbs are found out in the world, but most commonly can be found from defeated enemies. They temporarily boost either Attack (Red), Speed (Blue), or Defense (Green).
- Weapon Enhancers can instantly level up a weapon of your choosing, provided you have collected enough. The cost is 5 for upgrading to L2, and 8 for L3. You can use them when viewing a weapon in the status window. I wish I made that graphic! Curse you Star Fox 2!RECOMMENDED MODS: Here, I will list mods from other users that I found pair well with Bullet-Eye. Use them to enhance the experience further!
DamNums - By Xaser - Adds floating combat text. Perfect for comparing damage between weapons.
Top HP Bars - By coldcite - Adds health bars above enemies. There are some irregularities, such as health bars jumping erratically for Riveting Bombadier holograms, but it should not affect gameplay.
Demon CounterStrike - By Laggy - Spawns enemies and items periodically throughout maps, keeping action up full time, and therefore, adding to the arcade aspect of Bullet-Eye.
