Development Notes
Milo Bullet Storm was created using Phaser, a popular JavaScript framework for building HTML5 games. The goal was to capture the spirit of classic arcade shooters—games that are easy to learn but difficult to master, with that "just one more try" addictiveness.
The shoot 'em up (SHMUP) genre has a rich history in arcade gaming, and this project aimed to honor that legacy while making the experience accessible to modern web browsers. No downloads, no app stores—just instant arcade action.
One of the key design principles was responsive controls. In a SHMUP, even a fraction of a second delay between input and action can be the difference between survival and defeat. The game was optimized to ensure smooth, lag-free gameplay even in browser environments.
The weapon power-up system adds a strategic layer to the gameplay. Players must decide whether to risk collecting power-ups in dangerous positions or play it safe with their current firepower. These split-second decisions make each playthrough unique.
Whether you're a SHMUP veteran looking for a quick arcade fix or a newcomer curious about the genre, Milo Bullet Storm offers accessible action that respects your time while delivering genuine challenge.
