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.

Sums Steam only; Xbox, Nintendo publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

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.
https://youtu.be/UBf7A4eQX1U Making an arcade light gun game in 2025 is one thing, but making it play well with a lot of personality is another level above.
1CC Games is a great developer, and this is their best game yet. Innovating the cabal shooter genre, the gameplay here is extremely rewarding. Going for either survival, accuracy, high score or uncovering secrets in your run gives it an amazing depth and replayability as well. Especially the scoring system is well thought-out. Going for a proper clear (1cc) is difficult (unless you cheese the game by using a mouse), but worth it. I've played the Switch version to death already and just bought it on Steam as well, can't wait to see what these guys come up with next.

Un juego que, a primera vista, tiene una pinta espectacular, pero que al mismo tiempo me resulta increíblemente complicado de jugar. Los controles son tan peculiares que me cuesta muchísimo adaptarme. La mecánica es la clásica: apuntar con la mirilla mientras esquivas proyectiles enemigos, algo que en teoría debería ser sencillo si has jugado a shooters arcade. Pero con el mando me parece prácticamente imposible; siento que la mirilla va por su cuenta y yo por la mía. Con ratón la cosa tampoco mejora demasiado, porque mezcla ratón y teclado de una forma poco intuitiva que me descoloca por completo. Y jugar solo con teclado ni siquiera me he atrevido a probarlo, porque controlar una mirilla con teclas suena a experiencia poco agradable. Aun así, el juego terminó sorprendiéndome por su estética pixel art tan marcada, muy inspirada en los años 80. Tiene ese aire de recreativa clásica que te transporta directamente a las máquinas que nos fascinaban de niños o adolescentes. Lo que no tengo claro es si la dificultad viene de que yo no termino de entender su sistema de control o si realmente el juego está diseñado para ser así de exigente, casi como un homenaje a la dureza de los arcades de la época.
상점페이지에 와일드건즈리로디드 같은 게임이라고 하고 움직이면서 쏠수 없어 손이 좀 꼬이긴 하는데 확실히 재미있는 카발류 슈팅 게임입니다. 타격감도 훌륭하고 고전게임 같은 도트 그래픽 퀄리티도 좋습니다. 음악이 딱 제 취향인데, 특히 보스전 브금이 아주 좋네요. 탄막을 피하는 맛이 쫄깃하고, 피탄 판정이 불합리하지 않아서 마음에 듭니다. 오락실 고전 감성이라 이어하기를 다 쓰면 처음부터 다시 해야 하지만, 한 판이 길지 않고 난이도가 합리적이라 계속 도전하게 됩니다. 70분 정도 만에 엔딩 봤는데 짧고 굵게 즐기기 좋네요.
Silver Bullet is a retro-style bullet-hell shmup with 16-bit console aesthetics and Halloween theme. You take control of Van Helsing, whose six puppies have been kidnapped. Now, he must fight through waves of undead to rescue them. The story is minimalistic, in true arcade fashion, keeping the focus on fast, intense action. The gameplay is challenging, chaotic, and fast-paced, requiring precision and quick reflexes. The game offers three modes: Arcade Mode – the main story campaign. Score Attack – a classic arcade-style mode focused on achieving high scores. Terror Blocks – a Tetris-like puzzle mode unlocked as you progress through the game. Overall, Silver Bullet is a fun and engaging arcade bullet-hell game that will appeal to fans of fast-paced retro action.

"Silver Bullet" is a really clever arcade game that deserves so much more love than it's currently getting. The mechanics will feel familiar to anyone who has played other Gallery Shooters like Wild Gun or Sin & Punishment, but kept fresh through the Bullet Hell attack patterns & melee / parry mechanics. The game feel is crunchy & addictive, and the scoring system opens up a lot of depth in how you can approach each stage. It's not too hard to beat, despite the intimidating first impression. There are only 6 main stages, with the rest either being shops or minigames where you can't take any real damage. The campaign hosts a surprising amount of scenario variety, thanks to the fantastic "Ghost Train" aesthetics. You visit locations like graveyards or haunted mansions, to more out-there locations like a Prehistoric Museum or an ancient tomb within a pyramid. 100% worth the money, even without the discount.
Very fun scoring game in a perfect retro package. I loooooooove the music in this; there's an awesome bop that plays while you're blasting through ghouls and racking up points on points in the final stage. The limited number of credits also helps encourage properly learning the patterns and I think it makes the 1cc feel very rewarding to accomplish. My one wish would be for the leaderboards to show what weapon a player used, but it's a minor detail. When I played this, all I could think was "oh wow, these guys *get* it." It's a game in the purest form. One of my favorites of 2025. See me on the leaderboards.
