Byte the Bullet is a lane-based bullet hell where you and your foes are equipped with Armor Creatures, virtual programs that can defend their user from real damages along with granting passive effects. In this game you play as a cheap robot sent by a company to an abandoned mine covered in railways to remove mysterious cyborg monsters from the tracks for further extraction of resources. There is no option but to complete your goal, if not for your survival then to stop the company of sending more of your kind into this deadly place.
On top of moving and shooting you are able to summon a shield that blocks all damage by spending a short time in a single rail then jumping to another rail and you are also able to run by either pressing shift insert or enabling autorun in the settings
