Indie sleuth @firkraags.bsky.social continues to highlight her PAX Aus 2025 highlights, this time with a couple of bullet hell games that caught her eye.

PAX AUS 2025 – Bullet Hell Genre Mashups | Player2.net.au
PAX AUS 2025 - Bullet Hell Genre Mashups I’m not great with twin stick control schemes, so I’ve never entirely understood how people can love (or play … or even understand) the bullet hell genre. This deficit is most likely because I’m just slightly too old to have grown up with modern consoles and controllers.

Some weeks ago I had the immense privilege of learning all about the origins of Freeplay directly from its co-founder Katharine Neil.
The scope of the feature could only accommodate a fraction of her amazing stories. It was SUCH a treat to hear them!
