About
Reggie the vampire is dognapping puppies and must be stopped! As Van Helsing, embark on a journey around the world to rescue the pups: from haunted mansions and museums to ghoulish graveyards, each stage is packed with unique challenges to overcome and secrets to discover.
Man's Best Friend: Van Helsing's faithful hound Silver can be summoned during stages to attack enemies - and even drive vehicles?! Any baddies hit with Silver will drop delicious bonus items that boost your score, so make the most of your canine pal's help.

Unlock & Upgrade: Grab gold coins hidden in stages to buy power-ups that will aid you in your quest. Collect enough coins to unlock the extra puzzle game mode Terror Blocks! Bonus items collected, challenges completed and secret items uncovered all count towards your progress to unlock extra weapons, from a zombie shredding shotgun to the devastating rocket launcher!

Top Dog: Arcade Mode and Terror Blocks both have online leaderboards, allowing you to track your progress and compete for the best score. And for those who'd rather show off their skills live, the game's low memory footprint keeps streams silky smooth.

Control & Conquer: With game design based on "Cabal Shooters" like Wild Guns Reloaded, Silver Bullet has extensive control customisation. Play with modern twin stick aiming or classic single stick using a gamepad, go retro with an arcade stick or focus on precision with a keyboard and mouse.

Old-school Cool: With personality filled pixel art, customisable retro screen filters and spooky synth-pop bops from the legendary YM2612 chip, Silver Bullet looks and sounds like a long-lost 16-bit classic.

really good arcade-style shooting gallery game! the accuracy mechanic really hooked me and drove me to get better, and the characters and art design were really charming
Absolutely fantastic shooter with mechanics reminiscent of classics like Sin and Punishment and Panzer Dragoon. Incredibly varied levels and gameplay challenges. Gameplay design master class. Its crazy that this game isn't getting WAY more attention. GGWP!
Really cool little arcade game that plays like the classics but controls (relatively) modern. You can't shoot and move at the same time and every missed shot reduces your accuracy (pickup quality is based on accuracy) so you have to play smart. It feels incredibly difficult until the movement and parrying really click. I recommend rebinding keys because the default control scheme is awful. Story is silly in an endearing way, art is lovely, level design is diverse and interesting, and the replay value is certainly there. You can really tell that this is a love letter to quarter muncher games from the 80s. 100% completion time took me < 3h as someone who isn't very good at classic arcade games. Is it worth $7? Probably not. Am I happy with owning it for $1 via a game bundle. Totally.
This is probably one of best designed arcade games I've played in a while. Smooth and responsive controls, every game mechanic/ability/item serves a specific purpose, mini-games, BIG SCORE accumulation, online leaderboards, and plenty of secrets. Highly recommended for anyone into arcade games or/and climbing online leaderboards.
很好玩的射击小游戏合集,每个关卡设计的弹幕都很新奇可爱。同时也不失去射击游戏该有的难度水准。对于射击游戏的玩家来说像过山车一样兴奋,惊喜,好玩,刺激。而且操作也简单易懂,左键射击,右键加速闪避,键鼠一起操作。每通关一个关卡会进入一个小游戏奖励关。瞬间找回童年的乐趣。 有成就,没中文。
i think game is bit underrated, and went under radar of many people who potentially would enjoy it. it has great arcade'y feel to it, thanks to design choices and gfx/sfx. i am not very good at it but i enjoy it quite a lot.
A lot more fun than most AAA slop that comes out today. This is honest well designed fun here folks, just give it a try.
I give this developer props for accurately nailing the feel of a late 80s arcade gallery shooter. And it's full of fun ideas from stage to stage. I enjoyed blasting dinosaur skeletons to smithereens. The challenges/unlocks are a cute idea to extend longevity too. I'm not sure if I'd dive back in anytime soon, but I enjoyed it for what it is.
Very fun with so much creativity and variety!
Silver Bullet es un juego entretenido, corto y con bastantes elementos desbloqueables para rejugar, sin embargo estos pareciera que solamente tienen un efecto en tu puntuación y no propiamente en cambiar la forma de juego o en hacerlo más complicado. Es un título recomendado si buscas apoyar estudios indie y juegos cortos, frenéticos y desafiantes. https://youtube.com/shorts/yc_g5dY-bzQ
