Lattice Rider NEPHILA
A downloadable game for Windows
Balance your mobility and your bombs!
Lattice Rider NEPHILA is a polygonal 2D shooting game made for Bullet Hell Jam 2023, featuring crisp polygonal graphics, a unique lattice bomb system, and medal juggling scoring.
Controls
- FIRE: Z/J/left face button.
- BOMB: X/K/top face button. This will shrink your movement lattice, and you can only do this if no two corners of the lattice are too close to one another.
- ROTATE SCREEN: Tab/Back/Select (both tate orientations and standard yoko supported).
Development
All assets are original and made for the jam except the following:
- Ocean floor texture (made by me for a prior project)
- Music and sound effects by Dracue (the legends!!!), from their "2D SciFi Shooter" Unreal Marketplace pack (which I still cannot believe existed). Unfortunately this is no longer available, presumably due to Dracue's closure.
- Bitmap text sourced from Foone Turing's Death Generator, specifically from the following:
- Bakutoushi Patton-kun by Soft Pro
- DoDonPachi by Cave
- Pac-Man Arrangement by Namco
Thanks to everyone who tuned into me streaming almost the entire development time of this, and a special thanks to cmart7 for some good early formative ideas about the vehicle and lattice.

Hello!
We tried this game on twitch a few days ago. The bomb system was very fun, and the poligonal graphics were highly praised as they were found to be original and nice!
