Gameplay[ | ]
This is a bullet hell platformer on a trip with chill electronic beats. It features simple but deep mechanics as well as various paths surrounded by various particles and bullets. There is also a global high score for the top performing players.
The game features a mode called "Beat the Developer" where the player will be challenged to perform better than a bot disguising as the "developer" which intended to perform in a difficult manner.
The game also features a mode where the player can play against recordings of content creators (including game journalists, YouTubers, streamers, and more). Content creators get visibility by having a separate high score and people are able to get to their linked homepage, driving additional traffic to the content creators.
Events[ | ]
PartTimeIndie, the developer of this game, did run an event of making the game free from August 24, 2021, to September 1, 2021, because his other game School of Magic is part of Gamescom this year, where every subscriber to his newsletter would get a free copy of Will Glow the Wisp. And to his surprise, almost 40,000 people signed up, and because of that, he decided to make the game free for everyone until the end of the month.
