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.

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.
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.
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.
Silver Bullet is a fantastic and charming arcade shooter that's easy to pick up and hard to put down. It looks great, plays well and is just the right amount of challenging. The music is great, the different graphics modes give you multiple ways to experience the same game, and it's overall just a fun package. I bought this as part of a bundle, but I would absolutely pay full price for it, and I intend to 100% it .
Really great game. Getting the high score increase with accuracy and trying to squeeze more points is insanely fun and keeps you wanting to come back to get higher on the leaderboards.
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
With the variety of levels here it really feels like a Warioware take on Wild Guns. Great game feel and doesn't overstay its welcome, well worth the time and price.
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.

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.
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.
